Breakspear Rd South CLOSED

LBH Network Operations Manager has advised that Affinity Water have had to close Breakspear Rd South this afternoon near Grays Cottages (area shown in Red on Map) due to a burst Water Main.

There is no timescale for this work to be completed but LBH are expecting the works to be expedited as quickly as possible.

This should not affect HS2 lorries using the Approved Lorry Route on Breakspear Rd South as the Road Closure is further north than the HS2 Site (with the Approved Route only going as far north as the HS2 Site). There will however be increased traffic around the Ruislip and Ickenham areas as displaced traffic moves around the LBH Road Network.

Summer Reading Challenge 2024

Presented by The Reading Agency and developed in partnership with Create, this year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is ‘Marvellous Makers!’ and it’s all about celebrating children’s creativity.

This summer, children aged 4 to 11-years-old will be invited to fire up their imaginations and unleash storytelling and creativity through the power of reading. From puppets to portrait making, junk modelling to storytelling, there will be events and activities for everyone. 

Volunteers needed

We’re looking for young people aged 14+ who can help promote and deliver our Summer Reading Challenge programme.

It’s a great opportunity to gain experience working in a library, work as part of a team and engage with members of the public.
