According to the LondonWorks website (http://public.londonworks.gov.uk), they'll resurface the road between 22nd and 30th November (despite the signage and, of course, Brexit, this November is scheduled to stop after the usual 30 days).


It'll be in chunks, allegedly as follows:

22/23: Goodrich - Landells

26/27: Townley to No. 238

28/29: Townley to No. 159


That doesn't explain everything the signeage implies, but the website isn't always reliable or complete so we may be in for some exciting surprises elsewhere. Perhaps they'll fix some of the potholes. Or are trying to scare as much traffic away as possible, to avoid the usual nonsense and limit the increased pressure on parking.

The Conway guys did a brilliant t job of resurfacing Underhill Rd last week. Lots of notices before. Helpful during. Very efficient and quick. They clearly knew what they were doing. Lordship lane is a bit harder because of the traffic volume but I'd be confident they know what they are about

Completely agree, we had a nightmare getting back into our flat yesterday afternoon after having been out for the day. They should absolutely be doing this in the school holidays not when there is already a massive traffic issue owing to school traffic and especially on upland road during school drop off and pick up the parking is dire as is

The news may have been in the papers for the last two weeks but very few people read newspapers. I am glad that it is not happening at the same time Rye Lane is to be closed for a year.


What, Rose? Rye Lane is to be closed for a year? Are you nuts?


No, folks. No. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1981497

I was in town at the weekend and walked from Sydenham Hill down Cox's Walk to the South Circ / LL junction then along LL and turned off down Court Lane (this was Saturday afternoon). One side of LL for about 250m was being re-surfaced and Court Lane was closed at the junction onto LL.


Walking down Court Lane though - wow, the number of drivers ignoring the prominent ROAD CLOSED signs and driving right to the top, discovering that the ROAD was in fact CLOSED (hint: the signs saying ROAD CLOSED may help you here...) and then attempting to turn round - driving across pavements, turning around in people's driveways and then roaring off down the road in frustration! Insane. Traffic on Court Lane between Eynella Road and the LL junction was mental because of the number of people ignoring those signs.


Other than that I had a really pleasant walk and watching the traffic was quite entertaining....

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
