North Street Collisions Reduction Scheme

Overview

Havering Council is looking for your views on a proposed safety improvement scheme for North Street.

The proposed collisions reduction scheme follows a feasibility study that was carried out and found that up to 1,700 vehicles per hour use North Street with speeds of up to 50 mph regularly recorded. Further analysis of collision records showed that a total of twenty-five personal injury accidents (PIAs) were recorded along North Street between A12 Eastern Avenue West and St Edwards Way Roundabout. Of these twenty-five PIAs, two were serious; four involved pedestrians, two occurred in wet conditions and five occurred during the hours of darkness.

With funding being provided by the Mayor of London’s Transport for London office (TfL), we can now look at a proposed scheme which includes:

• A zebra crossing with tactile paving
• Illuminated belisha beacon posts

We would like to have your comments on these proposals.  The relevant notice of proposals and plans can be seen below, and can all also be found in the related documents section further below.

Large scale plans can also be seen on the Council website -

Please note we are unable to answer individual points raised at this stage, however your comments will be noted and taken into consideration when presenting the final report to the Council’s Lead Member for Environment. Any issues will be addressed at that time.

All comments received are open to public inspection and the report will be made public.
