I notice work (which looks quite serious) has started at this junction - does anyone know what it is for and how long it is scheduled. I am sure the information may be somewhere on the Southwark Web site but if anyone does already know I would be grateful. It's a route I regularly use (by car and bus) and it looks to be quite disruptive.

Sounds like standard Conway practise, poor planning and no concerns about disruption to residents. On 2 occasions this year in Woodwarde Rd (Feb and May?) they have put up signs asking for all cars on a 100-150 metre stretch of road to be moved for pavement repairs lasting a week. In neither case did the works happen.


They eventually did the work a couple of weeks ago but because it was holiday season or maybe because people hadn't noticed the signs now referred to July rather than May, quite a few cars were not moved.


Is there anyone at the council managing Conway or monitoring their performance?

I think this is the entry on the roadworks register. Due to run to 11 August.

Southwark Reset gully frame and cover & make good HRA around it with full traffic management in place. 07/08/2017

to

11/08/2017

Thanks Siduhe - the location certainly fits, but as no work is taking place (at least, when I last looked this morning) it's difficult to tell whether a gully frame is being reset (?) - and clearly there is nothing made bad yet to be being made good! But full traffic management (or mismanagement, with the queues) is certainly up and running.

Hi slarti b,

They did a similar thing in Landcroft road a few weeks ago. Signposted all the lampposts and put out cones for a week of pavement repairs. Cars all duly moved and come the day they turned up and lo and behold they had posted the wrong section of the road. Of course the section of road they wanted to do was still full of cars. You could not make it up if you tried.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274  
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
