The closure of Gallows Corner starting June 23 has severely impacted local residents like Hannah Richards, who faced an hour-long school drop-off that usually takes less than 10 minutes. With neighboring roads like Helmsdale Road becoming diversion routes, increased traffic has led to further complications, including congestion on narrow streets not designed for heavy vehicles, causing deliveries to be stuck. While Transport for London (TfL) aims to minimize disruptions, the negative effects on daily routines have sparked frustration and concern among affected families.
Hannah Richards shared that after the closure of Gallows Corner, it took her an hour to drop her children at school—a journey normally completed in under 10 minutes.
She expressed serious concerns over the closure's effects, stating, 'It affects everything. I've been losing sleep over it...it's way worse than I expected. It's a nightmare.'
