New Hillingdon First card parking rules

Posted on by
Yellow labels are appearing on car park ticket machines saying that Hillingdon First cards can only be used once per day.
this applies to individual machines / car parks as per the rule below

30 minutes free tickets with a HillingdonFirst card
Most of our pay and display machines offer 30 minutes free tickets with a HillingdonFirst card.
You must purchase your ticket or get your 30 minutes free ticket with your HillingdonFirst card at the initial time of parking. You’re not allowed to get another free ticket or buy an additional ticket to extend your period of parking beyond the initial time.


you can still use it in a different car park

I have received confirmation that there is an incident happening with a Thames Water Sewer on the Uxbridge Golf Course that is requiring Tankers to remove sewage via Harvil Road.

At present there are Emergency 2-Way Traffic Lights on Harvil Road to facilitate this, in place between Harvil Farm and HS2 Gate 1 (2 lots of works shown on One Network but LBH Streetworks tell me that contained within 1 set of Traffic Management):
