CONWAY CHAOS - WHAT'S GOING ON?!

[MoaningDulwichBoy]

Does anyone know the REAL reason why East Dulwich Grove is closed in both directions? When is it going to end?!

For the past two mornings, I've had the journey from hell via Denmark Hill to Dulwich Village. It's bad enough having to negotiate my way through the coaches on Townley Road, now I have these cement mixers and diggers in my way. It better not be a dulwich village saga all over again. Worst of all, as children were walking past the chaos that ensued on East Dulwich Grove, there was one conway contractor smoking away whilst digging up the gas supply!! What is he thinking?!

First of all, it was people looking in my bins, then crying babies in creches, now road closures without any notice.

I would like to know if any other dulwich residents have had similar experiences over the past two days. It is turning into such a palaver.

Peace out.

It's a bad scene.

I saw someone had a lot of garden waste out for collection this morning on that road - how on earth is the garden waste collection lorry going to get down there!

It's terrible... those children could have been on their way to the hospital and they have to breathe in that guys cigarette or cigar smoke?!

I went to take my shirts to the dry cleaners yesterday and planned to get some food from the pizza or Indian takeaways afterwards but there was so much noise and commotion - plus I was concerned I might get hit by flying gravel with all the digging going on - that I had to take my business to Lordship Lane. How much more does local trade have to suffer as a result of the council constantly ripping up our roads?!

The council can't win.

If they don't do the necessary work then they will get inundated with complaints because of that.

Give them a break!

It does sometimes feel as if Conway's acts as the military wing of Tooley St. in their fight against the kulaks of Dulwich. Disrupt people's lives, but do a bad job anyway, taking as much time, with as little pre-planning, as possible.

I actually went down there and spoke to the workmen, the guy I spoke to was lovely and very helpful.

They'll be done tomorrow...I'll post the full explanation on the other thread.
