Gallows Corner Flyover full closure reminder letter FINAL__ Jun25

GC Full Closure Diverison Drawing

Further to this update, the TFL project manager has been contacted to get some further clarification around access to the retail park, Tesco’s and shops along A127 and the response is below:

There has been significant engagement with local businesses including meetings last week to discuss the impacts of the closure and the feasibility of the diversion routes for their business. Costain, the contractor for the project, has been engaging with businesses, and conducting face-to-face engagement throughout the run-up period to the closure. For the businesses between A127 and Bryant Avenue we are working at pace to establish an agreed position on deliveries. We have proposed more than one option. Most businesses are planning to continue to trade, without changes to operating hours throughout the closure. We are looking at providing business continuity messaging on our closure/diversion signage to let people know that businesses remain open as usual.

There are some pop-up engagement events planned over the next few weeks including at Gallows Retail Park where people can speak to us directly. For the most up to date information and travel advice please see our website here: https://tfl.gov.uk/gallows-corner

There will still be access via A12 Colchester Road, Whitelands Way and Bryant Avenue and back out the same way or to the A127 to access the businesses at this end, McDonalds, Topps Tiles, Tile Giant and the Pet Food Superstore. The closure points will deter any through traffic but can be passed to access local services. We will have traffic marshals on site at all times to help direct people who need some help.

I can’t begin to describe how happy I am about this.
We have been trying to get this sorted for such a long time. So long that Mick Hockley and I were even contemplating having a go at fixing it ourselves!
Have you ever noticed the non existent fencing of adjoining land along the stretch of the A12 from the golf course to the M25 Brook Street roundabout?
Well I am extremely pleased to announce that now with the help and support of Keith Prince GLA member and former Havering Mayor Cllr Wallace….
TFL under their duty of care have just agreed to make the area safe and secure.

The long section of dual carriageway that leads from Maylands Golf Course, Harold Hill to the M25 Brook Street roundabout runs alongside open greenland very close to the 345 acre Dagnam Park and Nature Reserve. As you know this area is absolutely abundant with wildlife, especially our precious deer.

The boundary fence along this section has been broken and in some parts missing for as far back as I can remember.
I have been trying to contact the right people to get this addressed but for some reason have been going round in circles.

Harold Hill Deer Aid are frequently called out to deer and other wildlife that have been hit by passing traffic on this busy road. The scenes Deer Aid have been faced with sometimes have been very distressing.
We have been extremely concerned for the safety of road users along with the deer and other wildlife.
This is a major achievement and we would like to thank everyone involved for their help and support.
Hopefully now it will make the area a lot safer for all, drivers/road users and local wildlife.
We know it won’t stop it 100% but anything we can do to make this very busy road safer has just got to be a good thing !
