Context
The MP is concerned about the safety and congestion issues at Gallows Corner, a major junction connecting eastern Greater London with Essex.
He thanked the Minister for announcing funding but expressed disappointment that there is not a fundamental restructuring of the junction. He highlighted long-standing concerns over safety and congestion and asked the Minister to liaise with Transport for London and develop something better and more permanent.
The Minister reassured the MP that over £50 million is being spent to improve Gallows Corner junction. He suggested that if the MP has concerns about the scope of the works, they should be taken up with TfL as it is for TfL to develop the full business case.
