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.

The Harold Wood councillors are absolutely delighted that our representations and campaigning for our residents have finally paid off.

At the Highways committee in February, Councillors will be discussing and giving agreement for the council to go ahead and undertake an informal consultation to convert some of the grass verges to hard standing to increase parking capacity and reduce congestion in the following three areas: Halesworth Close, Kingsbridge Close, Kingsbridge Circus and Barnsley Road. See below link for further details

Whilst 3 of these areas will come under the Heaton area after the boundary changes take affect in May 2022 we can assure you that our Independent Harold Hill Residents Association Team Heaton Team – Mary Bakoulas, Wendy Brice-Thompson and Martin Glenn who will be ensuring that this is implemented if they are successful in the May local elections. So please support them!

We ask residents to respond positively and be supportive of the consultation when you receive this as extra parking is very much needed in these locations!

For Harold Wood, we shall be pursuing the council to get Barnsley Road completed as well.
