Andrew Blake-Herbert, Chief Executive of Havering Council, said:
"As a council, we are extremely disappointed with yet another delay in the completion and opening of Gallows Corner.
"Considering the closure was only supposed to last a few months, it has now become a bit of a farce.
"It's clear that Essex and Suffolk Water grossly underestimated the time their works would take, and failed to factor in adequate time for testing the new water pipes, and it's Havering residents and businesses who continue to pay the price for their failure.
"It is imperative that Transport for London and Essex and Suffolk Water complete their works as quickly as possible and finally get Gallows Corner moving again."
