Nigello Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Bloody daft not to have gritted the main arteries, such as LL. Assistant heads will roll....

hibbs Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Trains delayed and cancelled at Peckham Rye to London Bridge...8:23 still not turned up.Roads aren?t great, it was quicker to walk to the station this morning than jump on a bus.185 bus currently diverted down Barry Road.

LJC56 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Buses running but slow. The Walworth Road has not been gritted, which I would have thought was a priority in this area.

Earl Aelfheah Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 How have the roads not been gritted exactly? Have Southwark not been watching the news? They really are a shower.

Reg Smeeton Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Ten minutes ago Lordship Lane was gridlocked, with buses sitting there parked and driverless. Looks like there was no gritting which is astonishing given this was the most predicted snow/freeze in years.

singalto Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Traffic on LL at standstill for well over an hour going towards Forest Hill. No grit! How can Southwark council be so incompetent?

Nigello Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 is it Southwark or the Highways Agency? Either way, I am not surprised. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/184157-snow-how-are-the-buses-and-trains/#findComment-1224547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateFord Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Don?t believe the dot matrix outside East Dulwich. Only buses that have stopped have been the P13. I waited 30 mins and no buses to Denmark Hill.

Penguin68 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It'll be a Conways contract - they are using the Emperor's New Grit - you simply show your lack of culture and intellectual appreciation by not being able to see it.I suspect most of the bus routes are actually Southwark rather than the Highways Agency (that might be the South Circular) - anywhere which is rated at 30mph is Highways, I'd guess, the other is Southwark. And yes, in the case of one of the most heralded 'cold snaps' of all time to miss out on gritting must veer into a criminal lack of responsibility. Although of course the north of the borough may have been fully gritted.

Louisa Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is just crazy and ridiculous. It?s winter, snow happens. Why the hell were main artery roads not gritted? Anyone from Southwark around to help and answer questions? Also, it?s not much snow, why aren?t the drivers able to clear what?s already fallen? Pathetic. Louisa.

KateFord Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 When I asked a P13 driver, he said that Dog Kennel Hill was too dangerous to drive up for buses until gritted.

singalto Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I have just watched a 185 trying to turn left from Caldwell road onto LL. How it got into Caldwell rd I can?t imagine. Lots of buses on diversion. If only we had been told that snow was coming. Oh! Wait!

uncleglen Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 All your questions answeredhttps://www.local.gov.uk/your-winter-weather-questions-answered-0but given Southwark's penchant for neglecting front-line services when the Tories are in power- that is probably the real reason for no grit....'government cut-backs' as they quote with monotonous regularity.

Applepears Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Thank you will keep that in mind for the May election... I have not seen any gritting at all,,, what the heck are we paying our council tax for Southwark council, you charge enough...makes me so angry..

ctovey Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Dog Kennel Hill not gritted and cars having a problem getting up / down. Didn't see any buses, so they are probably being turned at Goose Green. Take care!

Louisa Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I have just had a very angry exchange with someone on the Southwark Council switchboard. My questions were not answered because I was, and I quote ?talking to the wrong department?. I kid you not. You have to press a thousand buttons before you get a chance to speak to a real person, and then they have no idea who you should speak to about something as important as grittting during a spell of cold weather. Unreal. Meanwhile, council tax goes up for another year and we are expected to just accept it I am furious, and I?m not even leaving the house today. Louisa.
