Redbridge Cycling Campaign’s responses to three current road safety consultations

The deadline for responding to consultations is 18th December 2025.

You can respond by following the link in the email sent to members on Friday 12th December. 

We have now prepared our responses to the Wanstead Village and South Woodford Road Safety schemes.  Both proposals are limited because they put forward measures to reduce traffic speeds but not measures to reduce traffic volumes.  Reducing accidents, deaths and injuries needs both. 

South Woodford

The key points are:

  • Remove the one-way streets in the area. 
  • Include anti rat run measures to reduce traffic volumes. 

Wanstead Village

The key points are:

  • Rethink the proposals for New Wanstead, Herman Hill and Chigwell Road to reflect the volume of traffic using the roads and their function as connector roads and to avoid the risk of making things worse.
  • Include anti rat run measures to reduce traffic volumes. 

Barkingside

The key points is

  • Cranbrook Road is where the many accidents happen, but the scheme does nothing to enforce a 20mph speed limit on the road
  • Something needs to be done at Gants Hill roundabout – and we have a proposal.

The other consultations

Pressure of time means that we are now unlikely to be make a detailed response to the Hainault scheme, but we are pleased to see the Council proposes reducing the speed limit on Forest Road to 30 mph.
