Dangerous Road Works Peckham One-way System!

[fazer71]

Yet again the Peckham one way system is being changed! Not being content with spending tens of thousands last year and the year before on the junction with Peckham Rye they are at it again.!!!!!!

Long queues in both directions pedestrians dodging the traffic and tempers and anger from bus drivers cyclists and car drivers.

Do we really need this disgustingly poorly organised road alteration?

Why haven?t the PC Safety Busy bodies at Southwark council been down there and made the contractor setup a sensible diversion? (I know it?s because they are busy Christmas shopping and they don?t want to do anything to help a real danger / downer on us Southwark Council Tax payers)!!!!!

Would it really be that difficult to create a safe Diversion?

Remember when Thames water kept that 100% unnecessary contra flow in place on the rye, when they went back they just dug a small hole and finished the job!!!

Will we need to see another fatal accident, before these incompetent road workers and road safety idiots finish on the one way system? I hope not!

Agreed, even on Saturday afternoon there was traffic queing both ways on Peckham Rye back to the Kings Arms and Rye Lane. Please please please can Barber and co get it sorted. Thank You. ps. no excuses it's not your ward nonsense either.

So you're too lazy to look up the correct councillors and complain to them but you expect James Barber to take on someone else's workload?

Mind you, I'm not excusing the incompetent planning that allows roadworks on Nunhead Lane, Peckham Rye, Bellenden Road and Peckham High Street at the same time. Glad I cycle everywhere.

Add to that the other end of Nunhead too. It is actually quite hard to get out of ED at the moment

It's an absolute nightmare and I'm so angry and sick to death of all of it.

I couldn't believe it when I saw the brand spanking new island on the corner of Heaton Road and Rye Lane completely pulled up and replaced with an even newer and shinier one. Glad to see my taxes, Council Tax and everything else being spent so wisely.

I've lost count of the number of times Rye Lane has been dug up over the last couple of years, most of which I'm sure is down to the relevant parties needing to blow the remainder of their budgets by the end of each financial year, rather than waiting for more co-ordinated roadworks. All of which shows how pointless Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson's ideas to charge companies and councils who dig up roads needlessly. Not only will such charges be a small drop in the ocean compared to the millions they need to get rid of before the end of the year, but the companies would probably love being fined because it's yet another way of depleting their budgets!

But aren't those works the tail end of the TFL funded works along Rye Lane?
