Along with its usual work of helping the residents of Ruislip, the RRA sometimes takes on more national issues, that nevertheless have an effect on Ruislip.
At present we are dealing with the proposals for High Speed 2 (HS2), which goes through Ruislip, partly in a tunnel and partly on the surface. We are working to reduce the impact of this major national infrastructure project on Ruislip and its community.

Following concerns raised over Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) from 1979 onwards, an independent Stakeholder Advisory Group on Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) EMFs, “SAGE”, was formed in 2004. The group was made up […]
For over 100 years, the Ruislip Residents' Association has sought to protect and represent the interests of local residents. No issue is too big or too small, whether raised by a group or an individual. It also advises members on how they may progress their concerns independently if they prefer.
