Carlsson-Hyslop, Dan From: Sent: 18 September 2018 11:55 To: reviews Subject: Hillingdon Ward Boundary Review Dear Boundary Commission, The area of the North Uxbridge Residents Association’s activity includes part of the present North Uxbridge Ward. For our geographical area please visit our Website to inspect the map ‐ northuxbridgeresidents.org Uxbridge is a busy town, with local government, transport, educational, health, police, magistrates court, business and shopping facilities. It is subject to developmental pressures, which we as a Residents Association regularly have to contest. We are involved in all matters pertaining to the economic, social and environmental health of this place. Although the Ward boundary cuts through the middle of the town, we take the whole of the Town Centre within our remit. In the light of that, our recommendations to you are very straightforward ‐ ‐ The Ward boundary needs to be re‐drawn around the Ring Road to include the whole of the Town Centre. ‐ Such a busy Ward needs three Councillors. Chairman NURA. 1 Carlsson-Hyslop, Dan From: ickenham residents Sent: 15 October 2018 10:31 To: reviews Subject: Local Government Boundary Commission Review Attachments: 160912 ick area.pdf Re proposed changes in Hillingdon and to Ickenham in particular Ickenham Residents Association was founded in 1920, and currently has a membership of 2/3rds of households in the village. We respectfully draw the commissions attention to the recently designated “Ickenham Neighbourhood Area” (INA) boundary' (attached and available online here: https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/31426/Ickenham‐Neighbourhood‐Forum ) which was proposed by local people after local consultation (including all neighbouring residents associations), consulted on by our local authority, approved by our local authority and is now in legal force as a land use planning designation. Simply put, the INA is Ickenham's boundary. For various reasons our community is currently spread across 5 wards. This spread causes a variety of unnecessary administrative complications and is confusing for Ickenhammers. Examples include the current siting of our historic Village Green in a neighbouring ward and much wasted time in discussions with various police safer neighbourhood teams, who operate along ward boundaries. Aligning the Ickenham ward with the INA would also return the Ickenham Marshes complex to Ickenham. The area (between Ickenham and Ruislip Gardens) has been farmed by Ickenham families for centuries and that tradition continues today. The Commission's review offers a rare opportunity to align Ickenham's political boundaries with the INA ‐ this would ensure our boundary reflects local distinctiveness and more importantly local perception of where Ickenham's borders are.

We are writing to submit our formal response to the Boundary Commissions review in to Ward Boundaries for the London Borough of Hillingdon. As an Association that represents Residents on the Oak Farm Estate in Hillingdon East Ward, we believe it is vital to keep our Community intact. Further more, we suggest that the Commission looks to relocate the Boundary of Hillingdon East Ward on to the opposite side of Long Lane (Uxbridge North) to join both Communities who have mutually shopped in and around the shops at Hillingdon Circus for many years. Local Residents from both sides of Long Lane regularly cross over in to each other’s Wards for shopping and use of essential facilities such as GPs, Post Offices and Schools. We believe bringing both sides of Long lane together into one Ward would strengthen our ties as a Community in and around the Hillingdon Circus and strongly suggest this for consideration. Chairperson of Oak Farm Residents Association Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/print/informed-representation/15287 1/1 Eastcote Conservation Panel Ward Boundary changes: London Borough of Hillingdon. Dear Sirs, The aim is to reduce the number of Councillors within the Borough. Whilst we have an appreciation of the north of the borough, we do not have the same knowledge of the south. Therefore we are considering only the wards in the north of the borough. It is considered that any area called a community should have at least two of the following three attributes: A transport hub. A Parish Church. A definable shopping centre. There are 8 areas that would meet this criteria, Eastcote, Harefield, Ickenham, Northwood, Northwood Hills, Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, and South Ruislip. Changes made to boundaries to accommodate these wards would mean there would be both 2 and 3 Councillor wards. Currently the town and village of Eastcote is divided between three wards, Eastcote/East Ruislip, Cavendish & Northwood Hills, and two Parliamentary Constituencies. The main shopping centre is divided between Eastcote/East Ruislip and Cavendish wards. The Eastcote Village Conservation Area is divided between Eastcote/East Ruislip and Northwood Hills, in fact the boundary line cuts one public open space into two. It would be far more sensible to have the whole of main shopping area and the Eastcote Village Conservation Area within one ward. Eastcote village is a very old community, forming part of the ancient Manor of Ruislip, when it was known as Ascott [east cottages]. With the inter war expansion the Metroland town of Eastcote was ‘born’. The Village and the town are viewed by residents as a whole. The Eastcote Village Conservation Area has buildings dating back to the 13th century, 30 Grade II listed building altogether. To form a ward called Eastcote would entail losing the area known as East Ruislip, which would be re-united with West Ruislip, thereby drawing together the Ruislip community. This would consist of the roads, Evelyn Avenue with small road off, part of Park Avenue, part of Broadwood Avenue, Eastcote Road running from Eastcote to Kings College Road, Kings College Road, Kings College Playing Fields. The part of the Conservation Area within Northwood Hills consisting of the road, High Road Eastcote, Cuckoo Hill left hand side, Pikes End, Haydon Hall, Southill Lane, Catlins Lane, as far as Daymer Gardens, to form part of the Eastcote Ward. The area to the south of the town within Cavendish ward to be included in the Eastcote ward consisting of the roads Whitby Road as far as Beverley Road, then following the footpath that runs north as far as Warrender Park & Highgrove Woods. From Whitby Road following Field End Road with all roads off up to and including the whole of the shopping area and the Grade II listed Eastcote Station. The area as sketched out above forms the Eastcote Community. Within this area all the community groups of long standing, the Eastcote Branch of the Royal British Legion, Eastcote Horticultural Society, all of Eastcote Uniformed Organizations, Eastcote Cricket Club and Eastcote Tennis Club. The Friends of Eastcote House Gardens, recipients of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, work to enhance the gardens as well as make Eastcote House Gardens a focal point for the community. Also, the three places of worship, the four long term public houses, three of which are grade II listed buildings. The Eastcote Parks being, Eastcote House Gardens [grade II listed buildings]/Long Meadow [SINC], Warrender Park/Highgrove Woods [SINC], Cavendish/Pine Gardens/Bessingby parks. Morford Way Conservation Area, Eastcote Park Estate Conservation Area and the Eastcote Village Conservation Area. The Eastcote War Memorial Garden stands in the centre of the area sketched out above. We hope this submission will be considered. Chairman – Eastcote Conservation Panel. Consultation Response to The Local Government Boundary Commission for England Review of London Borough of Hillingdon Submitted by Chairman of Ruislip Residents’ Association 5th November 2018 1. Executive Summary • Create two wards, Ruislip (3 councillors) and Ruislip Manor (2 councillors), that together align with the traditional boundaries of Ruislip as covered by Ruislip Residents' Association. • The majority of our boundaries are natural or obvious man-made demarcations, such as the woods between Ruislip and Northwood, the railway lines and Yeading Brook between Ruislip/Ruislip Manor and South Ruislip. There is no obvious demarcation between Ruislip/Ruislip Manor and Eastcote, but we do have an agreed "border". • For the purposes of this ward redesign we have agreed to transfer one new housing estate (Pembroke Park) from Eastcote to Ruislip to make the predicted voter figures more closely match the 4,295 voters per councillor that 53 councillors for the whole of Hillingdon equates to. 2. About Us Ruislip Residents’ Association (RRA) was founded in 1919 as the Ruislip Ratepayers' Association, making us one of the oldest residents' associations in the country. We cover a well-defined area that includes two shopping centres, Ruislip High Street, which includes the ancient village of Ruislip (which is in the Domesday Book) and a second 20th century shopping area, Victoria Road in Ruislip Manor. Our boundaries are traditionally: • West - the fields between Ruislip and Harefield and the Colne Valley • North - the northern edge of Ruislip Woods. • East - the eastern edge of Ruislip Woods, the land between Elmbridge Drive and Fore Street, past Warrender Park, past Bessingby Park to the Yeading Brook. • South-East - the Yeading Brook to where it passes under West End Road. • South-West - the Chiltern & Central Line railways from where they cross West End Road to where they cross the River Pinn at Breakspear Road South.
