Road and Traffic Information

All the latest road traffic news affecting the Village.

Thames Water is investing £5million to replace the water main at Leaves Green Road, Keston and Main Road, Biggin Hill and are hoping to start this upgrade this Spring.

The proposed replacement works will start at the Leaves Green Road / Downe Road / Westerham Road roundabout and will continue down to the Main Road / Churchill Way roundabout. The majority of the works will be managed under temporary traffic signals. Thames Water’s proposed duration for the water main replacement is 28 months.  SGN will be joining them to replace gas piping at the same time.  

Thames Water has agreed to manually operate the temporary traffic signals on weekdays at peak times and has agreed to work six days a week on this project (Monday – Saturday).

Thames Water will be starting works at the Downe Road roundabout.  Church Road is expected to remain open as Thames Water will be working on the Leaves Green Road side of the roundabout rather than the Westerham Road side. 

Thames Water is unable to stop the flow of the roundabout at Heathfield Road / Westerham Road, the only way this could be managed would be an additional set of temporary signals but this would cause further delays / disruption and be too close to the other set of works.

Expect serious delays at peak times and allow plenty of time when planning your journeys through these roads. 

Community Roadwatch gives local residents the opportunity to work side by side with their local police teams, and use speed detection equipment to identify speeding vehicles in their communities. Warning letters will be issued where appropriate, and the information can help to inform the future activity of local police teams.

To take part in Community Roadwatch, or to suggest a residential area where there are community concerns around speeding (such as Heathfield Road or the Westerham Road), contact  Police Constable  Francesca.Miller-Lakin@met.police.uk  (Hayes & Coney Hall Ward Police) who will be in touch.
