Gallows Corner's Return: What Does It Mean for London Commuters?

07 Eyl 11:45

Hey folks 👋, I just caught wind that the Gallows Corner flyover is finally set to reopen after a seemingly endless string of delays. At the same time, Reform UK is celebrating its first 100 days in Havering, promising a ‘Havering First’ agenda, and the water company is handing the site back to TfL. From my perspective, the reopening could be a big win for traffic flow in East London, but I’m also curious about the political angle—how much of this is genuine infrastructure improvement versus a feel‑good PR move for the new council? What are your thoughts? Do you think the flyover will actually ease congestion, or are we looking at a short‑term fix? And how do you see the local political promises shaping future transport projects? Would love to hear your takes!
