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....

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
