Kenson Highways was proud to support Gurdwara Singh Sabha London East in delivering this year’s London East Nagar Kirtan, a vibrant and meaningful event that brought together more than 10,000 people from the Sikh community.
The annual procession travelled across two London boroughs, celebrating faith, culture, and community, and required careful planning and coordination to ensure the safety of all participants, spectators, and road users.
Delivering Traffic Management at Scale
Providing traffic management for an event of this size and significance demands detailed preparation, clear communication, and seamless operational delivery. Our dedicated Traffic Management Division worked closely with event organisers, local authorities, and emergency services to design and implement a comprehensive traffic management plan that supported the smooth and safe movement of the procession throughout the day.
We are extremely proud of how our teams rose to the challenge, ensuring minimal disruption while prioritising public safety and accessibility.

We would like to thank everyone involved in making the event such a success, including:
Our team of 74 staff members, who worked tirelessly on the day to ensure operations ran safely and efficiently Sean Jenner and Mohamed Suleman, who led on-the-ground operations, coordinating the parade and flotillas while maintaining constant communication with stakeholders in the control room The London Borough of Redbridge, for placing their trust in Kenson Highways to deliver traffic management for this major community event Jas Athwal MP for Ilford South and Leader of Redbridge Council, whose presence and support highlighted the importance of the Nagar Kirtan to the wider community And most importantly, the Sikh community, whose hospitality, warmth, and spirit of togetherness made the day truly special
