North Street and the A12

​Improvements to ease congestion and reduce accidents at the A12 junction with North Street were completed last month, making the junction safer and easier to use for motorists and pedestrians.

​The project included widening the road and adding an extra lane, adding new crossing points including islands, in works which spanned approximately eight weeks.

After the junction improvements were completed, an area of green land at the site was transformed, providing a bright new environment to attract wildlife.

This work has brought a splash of colour to the green which now includes new trees, wild flowers and shrubs which will provide colour in the winter and spring.

The £300,000 scheme was funded by Transport for London.
