HS2 Christmas break (sort of)
You will be pleased to hear that we have been advised by HS2 that SCS will shut down works in Hillingdon from 3pm on the 24 December until the morning of the 4 January 2021.
The only exception will be a delivery of diesel, and one small pump through at West Ruislip on either 29 or 30 December. These will involve one or two vehicles and a small number of operatives.
Other than that the only staff on site throughout the whole of the period will be the security personnel.
Enjoy the respite!

Breakspear Road South closures from LBH
Notification from LBH:
I would like to take this opportunity to bring to your attention that Highways will be undertaking major emergency highway improvement works to Breakspear Road South Between its junction with Breakspear Road and the HS2 site entrance.
The works will involve carriageway resurfacing between Breakspear Road and the HS2 site entrance, clearing the ditch line on both sides of the carriageway, and renewing sections of kerb line.
HS2 is currently working in Breakspear Road South under a two way temporary traffic light control system with scheduled full road closures between now and the 13th December 2020 to construct two new access crossovers and carriageway strengthening.
Given the sheer decline of the carriageway and the fact that HS2 is currently working in Breakspear Road South under a temporary traffic light control system with scheduled closures between now and the 13th December 2020, Highways will take full advantage of this time to undertake these essential highway improvements in a collaborative venture with HS2 to minimise future disruption.
This will mean that Highways will put in place a full closure of Breakspear Road South between its junction with Breakspear Road and Copthall Road West starting on Monday 30th November with an estimated completion date of the 13th December, however this may be sooner providing no unforeseen issues arise.
Access will be maintained for all residents with a clear signed diversion as follows:
Swakeleys Road, High Road Ickenham, Ickenham Road, High Street, Bury Street, Breakspear Road, and vice versa
Electronic VMS signs will be in place from 25th November advising motorists of these essential works.
