Romford is the largest town in Havering, with a ring-road town centre of shops, offices and newer flats surrounded by inter-war suburbs such as Collier Row, Gidea Park and Rush Green and the post-war Harold Hill estate. Permit parking zones operate on streets near the centre, and any skip on the road needs a Havering Council licence.
Romford's housing changes by district. Victorian streets lie south of the railway and east of the Market Place. Collier Row is a 1930s estate north of the town, Gidea Park includes the Exhibition houses of 1910-11, built as Romford Garden Suburb, and Harold Hill is a London County Council estate of 1948-58, mainly brick terraces with some flats. Inter-war houses often have a drive and a side gate to the back garden. In terraces, and in flats around Waterloo Road, items usually come out through the house or down shared stairs.
The bag needs to be within about 4 metres of where the lorry can park, on your side of the wall. Parking controls are tight across Romford, which is why many jobs here are done as a collection: the truck stops, loads and leaves inside the permitted loading time.
Because the bag sits on your own land, there's no licence from Havering Council to arrange. Tell us when it's full and we collect within five working days.
