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 our formal letter to the HS2 Chief executive last week, HS2 have announced they will postpone the closure of Breakspear Road South “until the end of the summer school term (July 19)”.

They are: January Tuesday 29, Ruislip Manor library, 2pm to 5pm February Monday 4, Ickenham library, 2pm to 5pm Friday 15, Harefield library, 2pm to 5pm Monday 25, Ruislip […]
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.
