Main site activities in the Harvil Road & Copthall area – https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/main-site-activities-in-the-harvil-road-area/

Please note that the TBM conveyor is due to come into operation by the end of February 2023. Until then, HS2 need to move more material away from the West Ruislip portal to allow the TBMs to continue their work. Some of this material will be temporarily stored on sites around the area. The material will be delivered to two locations:
– area north of the Chiltern Line, west of Breakspear Road South at site at Gate 2
– area south of the Copthall Covert at site at Gate 1 on Harvil Road

At present, the only way they can do this is by using lorries to transport the soil from the TBMs. As a result, there will be additional lorry movements on roads around West Ruislip. However, they will adhere to the total 550 movements per day in Hillingdon. The affected routes are Breakspear Road South crossing, Harvil Road, Swakeleys Road and Ickenham High Road. This means the route is from Swakeleys roundabout and Ickenham village to West Ruislip portal site, from there the material will be transported via the haul road at Breakspear Road South to gate 2 and 1 on Harvil Road.

Vehicle Thefts – update from Metropolitan Police

On Friday 2nd December at 0330hrs approx, three vehicles were stolen in a very short space of time on Ickenham and South Harefield Ward, all within a few hundred yards of each other – a timely reminder that vehicle theft continues to be a real problem right across London.

Immediate alerts of these thefts to the Police can be challenging – discovery of the theft can be the following morning when the vehicle has long since gone.

If you have a video doorbell or other detection mechanism that is triggered and you see suspicious activity around a vehicle then please call the Police on 999 if crime is in progress giving as much information as possible – time is of the essence; you should contact NHW only after you have done that please.

Crime Prevention:

For keyless vehicles, some manufacturers already have a feature that allows you to disable the “keyless” functionality yourself – visit your manufacturer’s website or consult your handbook to see if that’s a method that would work for you.

If that feature isn’t available, consider an electronic Fob Protector that turns key fobs for keyless vehicles off automatically after being put down for 20 seconds until moved again.  There is currently a 20% discount code available to members of Hillingdon NHW.  See website link above for technical details.

Alternatively use a Faraday Bag for keys (one for the main set, one for the spare) – these must still be kept away from vicinity of the front door – keep completely closed, and inspect for damage which could cause the signal to be leaked.

For any type of vehicle you can help to prevent theft using a Physical Locking Device for the steering wheel.  This tells the thief that entry to the vehicle will result in another hurdle to tackle.

Products listed are Police Approved.
