South Ruislip Residents AssociationLate Night Plane Movements At Northhold 11th August
RAF Northolt have advised that they will be testing equipment on the evening of 11th August, between 23:00 and 01:30, so please be aware. They add...
"This testing is fundamental in ensuring reliability of a flight safety critical approach aid. It must, therefore, be checked periodically to confirm its integrity. For information each approach aid must be checked every 6 months and there are currently 4 in service at RAF Northolt.
The calibration of the system can only be achieved outside normal operating hours due to the checking aircraft needing full-uninterrupted freedom to approach the airfield and the surrounding airspace. This could not be achieved during normal airfield operating hours when Heathrow aircraft are operating. This restriction currently means the calibration cannot be started before 2300hrs.
The Station hopes this information will assist with the understanding of any unexpected aircraft operations and associated disturbance. Unfortunately, this activity is essential and we are doing our utmost to minimise the disturbance."
If you have questions please call them on 0208 833 8909.

RAF Northolt Hillingdon - Photo Call - 10/06/07
For local residents last year low flying noisy planes caused disturbance for many but a lot of excitement for others. The event is being repeated 10th June. Fans of the planes might like to know that a limited number of tickets can be obtained from the unofficial RAF Northolt web site.
For those less keen on the event forewarned is forearmed!

Hillingdon Recycling - Quick Reference Guide
There is confusion about what can be recycled in our clear bags and what can not. For example plastic trays and packaging are often incorrectly put out for recycling. The council have compiled a guide which may assist with any queries.

Mount Vernon
Plans to move cancer services from this site have collapsed, but the future remains uncertain.
Cancer services at Mount Vernon have played a massively important role in many of our lives. It is vital that we continue to fight to keep these local services. Please register your support at the campaign http://www.supportmountvernon.com web site.
Thank you.

Sainsburys South Ruislip - Planning Application
Full details of the application to expand the shop can be found by clicking here, this link can be followed through to view the plan drawings.
The SRRA has objected on these points:
- The reduction in car parking spaces
- The movement of the ATM to a long alleyway
- The proposed flat roof is out of character with the area
These points were discussed with a representative from Sainsburys, but they have clearly decided not to address them.
