‘Gallows Corner is Mayor Khan’s neglect of the borough’-Romford MP reiterates call for Gallows Corner flyover enhancement.
The Member of Parliament for Romford, Essex, Andrew Rosindell, has once again voiced his concerns about the deteriorating state of the Gallows Corner junction and flyover in Romford. In a recent social media post, Mr Rosindell, joined by London Assembly Member Keith Prince, pictured at the site of Gallows Corner, expressed gratitude for Mr Prince’s dedication to this cause in the face of what he termed “Mayor Khan’s neglect” of the borough.
This follows Mr Rosindell’s formal outreach to the Rt Hon. Mark Harper MP, Secretary of State for Transport. In a letter in October, Rosindell highlighted the urgent need for financial support to address the longstanding issues plaguing Gallows Corner. The current junction, in use for over 50 years, is notorious for its traffic congestion and safety concerns, making it one of the riskiest road sections in the South-East.
Rosindell emphasised that Transport for London (TfL) has warned of a potential closure of the existing structure by 2025, posing severe consequences for the community. While TfL has sought £50 million in government funding for Gallows Corner’s revamp, Rosindell cautioned that this might fall short of fully replacing the structure.Calling for a dedicated allocation from the £1 billion government funding pool for road projects, Rosindell stressed the critical importance of prioritising Gallows Corner’s replacement. Such an investment, he argued, would not only enhance safety but also benefit the economic and social fabric of the Havering and Essex communities.

There is no such place as Romford Essex.
Firstly Romford is not in Essex and secondly the hypocrisy from a Tory MP who has voted time and time again for cut to public services and spending to then campaign for more money. Rosindell is a joke!
I think Mr Rosindell should focus on the neglect he has for the people of Romford over the last 3 years, since being “arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, abuse of a position of trust” and not being able to attend Parliament.

Romford Conservatives were at the wrong end of Boris Johnson’s *promises* about Gallows Corner 8 years ago. e
