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.

    • That a shocking story.  Spurs?  You appear to be lost.  Haringey is very much the other side of the river.  
    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
