Havering Council is facing scrutiny over significant delays in implementing traffic schemes, with councillors questioning lengthy timescales.

Havering Council is currently facing scrutiny over significant delays in implementing traffic schemes, which are plans or projects designed to manage traffic flow. In September 2026, councillors questioned why even simple projects are taking up to two years to complete, even after public consultations have concluded.

Councillors Martin Goode and John Tyler pressed Cabinet Member for Highways, Councillor Alex Sibley, for explanations regarding the lengthy timescales. They also sought details on what actions Councillor Sibley would take to expedite the process of implementing these schemes.
