Autumn Newsletter availability update

Posted on by

This updates the post made recently about newsletter availability:

Along with other Ickenham organisations, we are not printing and delivering our normal newsletter for September. We decided that there was no certainty that the situation in September would stay the same, and we would  therefore  issue the newsletter mainly online. It is available on our website to download.

If you are unable to download it, please email us on Ickenhamresidents@hotmail.com and we will email you a copy. We will also print off a very limited number of paper copies which will be available for those who are not online to collect  this week from designated points in the village, which will be Ickenham Library, Dalton’s Egg Van (on Saturdays) and Maison du Soleil.

We trust you understand our reasons for this, but we cannot risk the health and wellbeing of all our volunteers. The situation will be reviewed again before the next newsletter is due out in December.

Autumn Newsletter available here

Normally, we add newsletters to the archive as soon as the next one hits the streets. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the street-hitting still hasn’t started up.

You’ll find the Winter 2020 issue in the website archive.

If you are not a member of the Residents’ Association, for a £2 per annum subscription, you can normally get the newsletters hot off the press. For no extra, and at your choice, the Association will keep you updated with more immediate news by email. If you are a member and don’t get the emails, drop a line to ickenhamresidents@hotmail.com

HS2 Main Works – Traffic Impacts in next few months

Posted on by

Now that the government has given the notice to proceed for HS2 the work is starting in earnest.

We continue to have regular conference calls with HS2, the main contractors (SCS and Align) and London Borough of Hillingdon.

The most immediate impact in our area will be SCS preparation works in Harvil Road for the Harvil Road realignment(and other works) and Breakspear Road South for the construction of the haul road between West Ruislip and Harvil Road (the haul road was our recommendation in petitioning to avoid HGVs going through the village). This work will lead to lane closures in Harvil Road during October and November and occasional lane closures in Breakspear Road South; we are assured these will be coordinated to ensure one road system is fully working.

There will also be weekend road closures.

The other contractor – Align – will also be working in Harvil Road to construct the haul road to HOAC alongside Dews lane. Their works should be coordinated with SCS.

Align will also be closing the A412 between Denham and Maple Cross with Harvil Road as the diversion – dates to be advised.
The power supply contractor will be completing their works in Jan 21 which will again include some road work in Ickenham Road between West Ruislip site and the White Bear roundabout.

Full details should be available at some time on the HS2 Commonplace site

https://hs2inhillingdon.commonplace.is/

And the HS2 Helpline number is 08081 434 434 or email HS2enquiries@hs2.org.uk. If you have an issue always put COMPLAINT in your email heading.

Tichenham Inn

Posted on by

The Association appreciates the social and economic contributions our local pubs make to village life, however we are aware that many of you have expressed concerns re the Tichenham Inn since reopening in July.

Thanks to those who brought this to our attention and to the attention of our councillors.

We are reliably informed that a meeting took place between Wetherspoons management, the Borough licensing officer and the police licensing officer.

As a result of this meeting and to ensure Covid – 19 guidelines are followed correctly, the following have been agreed and implemented

1. Customers must be seated when outside. Those without a seat, must either re-enter the pub (if possible) or leave the premises;
2. Drinks will only be permitted outside if customers have a table;
3. Drink will not be permitted in the designated smoking area; and
4. The fixed external furniture will be replaced with movable external furniture which will be brought in at the end of every evening.

In addition to the above measures, they have also employed door staff on a Friday and Saturday night to help manage the outside area and provide additional support for managers.

Should you have any further concerns please contact one of the licensing officers mentioned above.
