The late afternoon/evening 176 has been terrible this week. Whoever agreed this new E&C road layout is a complete moron. It wont be long before it just ends before Penge permanently at this rate.

I would try a system restore myself before worrying about anti-virus etc

I raised this with James Barber recently and he received the below.

It's gone down at least twice more since this!

Dear Councillor Barber

Thank you for your initial email of 6 December concerning the bollards at the junction of Adys Road and Nutbrook Street. I apologise for the delay in a response but I am awaiting certain information to provide a comprehensive response to your query.

In the last five months, we have undertaken eight individual bollard repairs at this location at a cost of ?650. Prior to this there was only one repair in March 2012 at a cost of ?105.

I am currently awaiting a response from our Road Safety team as to when the junction safety scheme (raised table and build outs) was installed, and whether a Stage 4 Safety Audit was undertaken after the scheme had been in operation for a certain time to evaluate the effectiveness and any associated problems.

There are potential alternatives to the bollard replacement but I would wish to check on their applicability with the Road Safety team before undertaking any permanent changes. Obviously, removing the bollard and allowing vehicles to over-run the footway would increase the potential hazard to pedestrians. Providing a greater turning area for vehicles exiting Nutbrook Street by moving back the kerbline would presumably negate the effect of the safety scheme, and could only be achieved at a significant cost. A further option is the replacement of the full height bollard with a bell type bollard.

I will respond further with our intended solution to the problem once I have received a response as outlined above.

In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me if you should require any further information.

Thanks for your help James. Mere days after I enquired it had been hit again!

Hi James,

Do you have any idea how much is being spent on reparing the bollard at the Nutbrook street/Adys rd junction? It seems to get knocked over and repaired about twice a month. I assume it was put there for a good reason but given the time and money spent repairing it so often, maybe its best left down?

The children's play area next to goose green frequently has one next to it.

I saw Richard Ayoade in sainsburys on saturday, that was quite exciting, the man is a genius.

My guess is that it was the grammar fox.........

She did thanks Jez, we discussed it at length in the style of an xfactor interview btu a good one, not a Konnie Huq one.

I too saw Kate Thronton, in the Bishop on Sat, looking awful.......

A few of us still kicking about.....

Lordship could do with some livening up, i'm in favour of this and tats in general, should i feel the urge for another it'll save me a trip to Camden.

As for the haters, if you dont like them dont get one.

p.s. please retain the contact details of attractive girls that get them as tats are awesome on women.

Absolutely disgusting, if you cant afford to live in London, dont live here.

As Jessie says, get a job, i pay my rent so why shouldn't you.
