#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.

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.

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.
