Pickering Road

Ba news about Pickering Road's cycle track: "There are still issues outstanding; street lighting, street furniture, drainage and a stage 3 safety audit. It is required for this to all be substantially completed before an application is made by the developer, or their appointed consultant / contractor, in order for a part 2 certificate to be issued by the highway authority (the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham) and for the maintenance period for the adoption to commence.

Once we have been notified of substantial completion of the entire scheme we will carry out an inspection of all of the works. This will become the start date for the 12 month maintenance period with a view to adopt the highway(s) (Pickering Road, Church Road, Loftus Road and Roberts Close).

At the end of this time, we will undertake a final inspection of the works and, provided all is found to be satisfactory, the highway will be formally adopted.

Until the road is formally adopted, we unfortunately have no enforcement powers and therefore have a newly constructed designated cycle lane being used as a car park."
