#Romford Western Road and Mercury Gardens Collision Reduction Programme – Proposed Safety Improvements
#Havering Council is seeking views on proposed road safety improvements for Western Road and Mercury Gardens. A feasibility study found that up to 800 vehicles an hour use Western Road, with speeds regularly reaching 40mph. Collision data recorded 14 personal injury accidents over five years, including three serious incidents. Four involved pedestrians, while two occurred in wet conditions and two during hours of darkness.
Funded by #Transport for #London, the proposed scheme includes a new zebra crossing and relocation of an advertising board at the South Street/Western Road junction, “Look Both Sides” markings at the existing pelican crossing, a staggered pelican crossing in Mercury Gardens north of Western Road, and a new zebra crossing on Western Road east of Mercury Gardens. Residents can submit comments, quoting reference QX018, by Friday 3 July 2026.

Havering Borough Eyes Potential "Independence" Vote from London
Havering borough in East London might vote to leave the capital and rejoin Essex. Reform UK is pushing for this idea.

A political party called Reform UK is suggesting that the area of Havering in East London could have a vote to leave the capital city. They say this could help Havering have more local control. This idea is part of their campaign for local elections.

#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has responded to questions on London Service Permits (LSPs) for non-London bus routes operating in #Havering. TfL is in discussions with NIBSbuses over route 269, which crosses Greater London, and anticipates an LSP application. Two Davian Coaches services, route 4 and a Rainham Tesco–Veolia shuttle, currently operate without an LSP; TfL will investigate compliance. The Z2 service between Canning Town and Amazon Tilbury, previously lacking a renewed LSP, has now had its permit approved following an application in August 2025.

In 1978, #London #Transport (LT) trialled the Multi-ride ticket system in #Havering, aiming to achieve 100% one-man bus operations. The scheme, introduced in February, simplified the fare structure, offering discounts for regular travellers. London Country’s route 370, running between #Romford and Corbets Tey, also participated, as did Eastern National, which started later in May. Multi-ride stickers were carried by BT vehicles at Grays garage. The trial aimed to reduce boarding times and streamline fare collection, but although passenger uptake exceeded expectations (with around 75% using Multi-ride tickets), boarding times only dropped to 3 seconds, still far from the 2-second target for efficient one-man operation. Despite being popular with passengers, the scheme didn’t achieve the desired operational efficiency. As a result, LT reconsidered expanding the scheme fleetwide and reassessed future vehicle replacements.

The Lonely Walk in which I walk the Transport for London Road Network in #Havering.
I very much hated this walk and it didn't get any better writing about it, but I offer solutions that really need action on by TfL, the Mayor and politicians.

It's 05.45 and my #LonelyWalk for #NationalWalkingMonth starts on the southwest corner of J28 of the M25. I'm walking the #Havering sections of the A12 and A127 today.
First is the reworking of the shared path through J28 with toucans just appearing.

Last year, I walked from the M25 to the centre of London for #NationalWalkingMonth.
This year it will be another long walk, but in #Havering, my own London Borough where I shall be circumnavigating the A12 and A127, two Transport for London managed roads which create huge problems of severance,

Havering the worst place to live in Greater London.
There was definitely a racism problem when we lived there. Parts of it was very conservative.
However, I wouldn't have thought this had been the worst place in Greater London, kind of surprised by that.

I've just learned that Havering Museum, Romford is holding an exhibition of the phenomenal art and craft of my late aunt Wendy Pidgeon until 25 April. Doesn't seem to be listed on the Havering Museum website - details came from Romford Embroiderers, which Wendy helped establish.

#Havering has a culture of “institutional racism, misogyny, homophobia and disability discrimination”?
Well, that's a surprise. NOT (in our experience).

#havering is London’s speediest borough!? Probably not something to be proud of.

What a shame that the Borough of #Havering are considering the closure of 4 #libraries
Absolutely something I do not agree should happen. Havering is very strapped for cash though as I've read in their weekly eNewsletters slamming the current #Tory government.

I see so much bad news coming from #Havering #Essex right now. What's going on?! Sword attack!

I'm reading the #statistics from the #Census2021 data in the UK, particularly for the area we lived in ie #Havering
We couldn't move back there. We experienced a LOT of #racism and #homophobia
As my partner is #Asian racist graffiti started to be sprayed over the bus stop we used to wait at. To make matters worse, the bus company refused to take it down.
