Romford Road Public Realm Improvement scheme

Romford Road is a key east-west route in Newham, connecting Stratford in the west to Little Ilford and the North Circular (A406) in the east. It provides important connections for pedestrians, cyclists and buses as well as private and commercial vehicles.

The key aim of the Romford Road Public Realm Improvement scheme is to create a better and safer street environment for residents, businesses, visitors and people travelling to destinations within the borough.
