But not at the top of Vallentin Road - still a death trap since the pedestrian refuges removed in October

Markhouse Road area

Forest Road

Lea Bridge Road

Grid lock is looming

A lane has been removed at the Walthamstow Town Centre gyratory area at the top of Selborne Road. This will cause tailbacks along Hoe Street eventually impacting Lea Bridge Road where Mini Holland works are planned including the very delayed works to Whipps Cross Roundabout. Maybe avoid Walthamstow for the next 2 years - not sure what impact that may have on the plans for a 27 storey tower block and more shops!
