Hot off the press! Information from the Judge at the ARLA request for a Judicial Review. The judge rejected Sainsbury’s claims on all three grounds. Sainsbury’s have seven days to appeal but we hope they don’t given, what we understand to be, the strength and language of the judgement against Sainsbury’s appeal. I am sure there will be more on this soon but thought you would like to know! Will update when we know more.

ARLA Update: Sainsburys to Launch Judicial Review
Update on the ARLA Development: Building Likely to be Delayed
It looks likely that Sainsbury will launch a judicial review which will cause delays in the building of the development at the ARLA site . Vice-Chair Sid Jackson has commented on this.
Plenty to discuss at the next quarterly meeting next Wednesday! How do we respond? Come and have your say.

We wish you a happy New Year. Hope that 2015 is productive and a great year for South Ruislip.

Comments turned off – sorry :-(
I like the idea of an open an interactive site but I can’t moderate the flow of spam comments I’m getting on the site so have turned off comments for the time being.
126 spam comments at the moment and I don’t have time to check in case something real is in there.
If you want to comment on an article or something affecting South Ruislip please email us or pop over to the Facebook page, just search for us under South Ruislip Residents Association.

HS2 Update
HS2 is currently being debated in parliament. Even though there is strong opposition to it and it has been flagged up as a red/amber risk as to whether it will provide value for money by the parliamentary watchdog, there is a strong feeling that it may still be pushed through.
We have to be prepared for this eventuality, so whilst we remain resolutely opposed to the project we need to try to mitigate its effects locally.
The rail link through South Ruislip is currently planned to be in a tunnel which reduces much of the blight that would have been experienced by an over ground option. What many in the area may not be aware of is that to enable the tunnel to proceed a number of major works must be carried out to the local services such as sewerage and water systems.
These works will create major disruption for long periods of time. They will be mainly centred on West End Road, Station Approach, Long Drive, the green area adjacent to Bridgwater Road and Victoria Road. The Victoria Road effect will be from the construction of a vent shaft behind the old Focus building.
A petition process was announced by HS2 which gives individuals, associations and businesses the right to petition parliament to seek ways to mitigate the local disruption.
SRRA has submitted a petition on the residents behalf and while we clearly stated that we remain opposed to the project we requested that when these works were carried out they must not be scheduled simultaneously, access to shops, businesses and residential properties must be available at all times etc. We received a great deal of help from the council’s personnel in ensuring that our petition was presented in the correct format and for that we thank them for their assistance. A copy of the mandate signed by committee members following the AGM and the petition are on the website.
