No pain no gain at Heathway diversions

After the Dagenham Town Show (14 & 15 July 2007) Heathway will be closed to southbound traffic between Reede Road and Church Elm Lane - ie the bit by the station. The closure will last 3-4 months. Buses (173, 174, 175) will go on a two mile detour through Reede Road, Rainham Road and Church Elm Lane. (I guess it will save time to walk down the closed stretch instead).

This is all so that work can be carried out to improve Heathway for pedestrians and cyclists. Plans were drawn up by the council based on recommendations from Living Streets. I believe these will be worth the wait.
