Frustration Mounts at Gallows Corner as Delays Continue With No End in Sight.

Gallows Corner has become a source of ongoing frustration for Havering residents, with roadworks remaining far from completion and disruption continuing months longer than expected. Originally scheduled to finish in September last year, the project has been delayed leaving residents and local businesses struggling with congestion and limited access.

Havering and Redbridge Reform Greater London Assembly Member Keith Prince told the Havering Daily: “I have been tirelessly lobbying TfL and the Mayor of London to get the works at Gallows Corner finished. The reason for delays has been down to works by Essex and Suffolk Water. They promised me and others that they would get back to us with a phased programme, laying out clearly the dates when we could expect each phase to finish and there being increased access on the completion of each phase. I have been trying to get a meeting with them to find out when we can expect the works to come to an end and get the phase dates, but they are not responding. I will continue to lobby TfL, the Mayor and Essex and Suffolk Water to get these works finished so local people and businesses can return to normality after months of disruption.”

Photos of the site show that significant work remains, and residents have voiced growing impatience at the lack of progress. The delays have not only caused traffic problems but also disrupted businesses and daily life for those living and working nearby.

Keith Prince added: “We all want to see these works completed as quickly as possible. Residents deserve clear communication and certainty about when Gallows Corner will be fully open again. I will continue to press all parties involved until the job is finished.”

As local frustrations mount, attention is now focused on when the project will finally conclude.
