Havering Council have announced that the experimental traffic scheme in Minster Way, Hornchurch, which restricted turning in and out of the junction with Wingletye Lane, is to end.

Their decision states ‘….that on investigation there have not been accidents at this location for the last 2 years, which may have been due to the traffic reductions during Covid-19 and the additional congestion created which is not in line with our duties under the Traffic Management Act (TMA), it is recommended the banned turns currently implemented experimentally in Minster Way and Wingletye Lane are removed with immediate effect and further consultation be undertaken with all affected members/residents to implement a more suitably effective solution to the traffic safety concerns initially raised.’
