    Havering Council will close Keswick Avenue and Dorrington Gardens car parks in Hornchurch in January and March 2026, respectively, to make way for much-needed new homes for local people.

    Alternative parking options in Hornchurch, include Fentiman Way, Billet Lane and Appleton Way car parks, which will remain open, as well as the Sainsbury’s and Lidl’s Town Centre customer car parks. 

    Fentiman Way and Appleton Way car parks are also included in the new parking pilot scheme, designed to support locals shops and businesses following feedback from the Hornchurch Town Centre Team; Hornchurch business owners.

    There is also parking at Billet Lane, though this is not part of the parking pilot scheme. 

    Councillor Ray Morgon, Leader of Havering Council, said:

    “Delivering new homes for local people is a top priority for our administration, and these developments in Hornchurch by Mercury Land Holdings are an important step toward meeting that need. 

    “At the same time, we know how vital it is to support local traders and maintain a thriving town centre.

    “That’s why we’re working closely with business owners and residents to ensure that the car parking pilot and these closures are managed in a way that keeps Hornchurch accessible and vibrant for everyone.”

    Christopher Hobbs, Director, Mercury Land Holdings (MLH), said:

    “We are delighted to see progress on these two sites in Hornchurch. 

    “Over the past ten years, MLH has played a pivotal role in helping to transform the housing landscape in Havering.

    “Offering a wide range of housing solutions, from Cathedral Court, Winterberry Court, Victory Place and the brand new Roe Wood Park, we aim to bring high-quality choice and freedom to residents to find homes that best suit their lifestyles and budgets.”
