Speaking in the House at Transport Questions earlier today, Andrew Rosindell M.P., Member of Parliament for Romford, demanded the Secretary of State for Transport that a refurbishment for Gallows Corner - a project which is half-a-century overdue - takes place.
This is the latest in a long campaign with the aim of providing road safety for all those who travel across the A12 / A127 intersection.
For nearly half a century the people of Romford, and those of wider Essex and east London, have been waiting for the Gallows Corner A12/A127 junction to be reconstructed. Is it not time we had some investment for the people of Romford? It seems to go everywhere else; let us have some in the London borough of Havering, please.
Andrew Rosindell M.P.
As my hon. Friend knows, the Government are passionately committed to improving the A12. Only recently it was the subject of litigation brought by one individual. I will happily sit down with my hon. Friend, who for many a year has been a doughty campaigner for Romford. I entirely agree with him that this needs to be addressed.
Guy Opperman M.P., Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Roads and Local Transport
