Thanks.

What with Gas works, commuting parkers and the guy who leaves his for sale cars in the street for months on end it's certainly getting harder to park in Choumert Rd.

I contacted SGN and Southwark to ask why there couldn't be better coordination of street works. On Choumert Rd the street being dug up for the gas networks comes just a few months after Thames Water have finished digging up the same space. The irony, or lack of it, is that it's the same contractors (Morrison Utitiliies) digging the same holes. To be fair SGN at least replied to say it was up to the council and they could do nothing about the lack of coordination. I also asked why Southwark couldn't also coordinate for one or both of them to contribute towards re surfacing the already knackered and dangerous street surface (which is being further knackered by tarmac patches being laid onto loose gravel surface). Despite three emails now and calling them they are ye to reply. Budget cuts are one thing but if these large profit making utiliy companies are messing up already poor road and pavement surfaces would it be too much to ask them to contribute towards street resurfacing...

Thanks - I was going to write to them re the same but just hadn't found the time. I am equally cross with the level of disruption. Not to mention the Kango drills this morning.
