I’m a former member of Eastcote YHA group that used to meet in the Cavendish Pavillion on Wednesdays at 8pm as were my brother Ray and sister in law Trish Kendal who was chair at the time – 1977.
I d like to hear from anyone who attended the group especially from 1976 to 1978 with a view to potentially organising a reunion.
Could anyone interested contact me on 07904 025 198
Many thanks

POLICE ALERT – Rogue Traders in the Ruislip & Eastcote area
The police have received recent reports of individuals going door-to-door in the Ruislip and Eastcote areas, offering to carry out work on houses. These services may be overpriced and of poor quality.
We strongly advise residents not to agree to any work unless you have thoroughly researched the company and are completely sure of their legitimacy.
Please be cautious and avoid opening the door to unexpected callers. Some of these individuals have been reported as aggressive. If you feel threatened or see anything suspicious, report it to the police immediately.
Please stay safe and look out for your neighbours.
Please report ALL crime – 999 in an emergency or if the crime is actually in progress, otherwise 101, online or via the POLICE.UK app (Android, Apple) – describe your location accurately, and consider using what3words to describe your exact location – you can install the App on your mobile and this method is recognised by the emergency services.
HILLINGDON GARDEN WASTE COLLECTIONS
Hillingdon Council are proposing a change to garden waste collection service to make it more sustainable. The proposed change would see the introduction of a £70 charge for 2025/26 for the collection of a household’s garden waste. The charge would support the running costs of the service and ensure it’s paid for by those using it – rather than the cost being shared by all taxpayers, including those without gardens.
Garden waste collection service would continue to offer residents:
• better value for money than neighbouring boroughs through a cheaper rate per collection
• weekly collections in spring, summer and autumn
• greater capacity of collected garden waste than other boroughs.
Residents without a subscription would still be able to take their garden waste to civic amenity sites for free.
Have your say https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/garden-waste-consultation
The consultation is open until Monday 31 March, and a decision will be made in the spring.

Hillingdon Council Budget Consultation 2025/26
Hillingdon Council wants to hear your views on its proposed budget for 2025/26.
The 2025/26 budget proposals commit to maintaining and investing in services for residents, including free weekly waste and recycling collections, enhanced parks and leisure facilities, road and pavement resurfacing, town centre improvements and additional homes and school places.

Additions to the local list of buildings of architectural and historic importance
Two additional buildings to be added to the local list of buildings of architectural and historic importance. The consultation closes on Thursday 13 February 2025.
The Local List is intended to recognise buildings of architectural and historical importance that contribute significantly to the unique character of our Borough. Whilst not statutorily listed, these buildings are of good quality design or are historically significant and are important to the local community.
Following recent nominations we are seeking views on whether to include the following two additional buildings on the Hillingdon Local List:
- The Orchard, Ickenham Road, Ruislip, HA4 7DW
- Hayes North Telephone Exchange, East Avenue, Hayes, UB3 2HW
Garden Waste collections
As originally announced in Hillingdon People magazine in November please note the current fortnightly collections of garden waste:
Winter garden waste collections
In Hillingdon, the amount of household garden waste our council collects halves during the winter.
During December, January and February, garden waste is now collected fortnightly. This will help reduce our carbon footprint, by reducing lorry journeys and emissions, whilst ensuring we continue to deliver an efficient and cost-effective service. All other collection arrangements will stay the same.
During the rest of the year (March to November), garden waste will continue to be collected weekly.
Throughout the year, residents can also dispose of garden waste via our waste and recycling centres.
Use our online collection day lookup function to check your next garden waste collection day.
For those who had a collection on Monday 6th January the next is Monday 20th January.
