Thanks, got to where I needed to go!

I assumed they were resurfacing the whole of LL but I noticed today that the section from the cinema to Woodfalls hasn?t been done.

Nor between Barry Road and just before Friern Road. There's also a section between Melford Road and Dulwich Common owned by TfL which hasn't been done either.

Singalto.. Yes I saw that. It makes me livid. They resurface in completely illogical, sectioned ways that must be extraordinarily expensive and causes unnecessary inconvenience. Each time having to close down substantial parts of the area, advance prep the site, suspend bays, bring in plant etc. In the last 3 years, one job was Grove Vale, but not including GG which was merely patch repaired but at a separate time. Which itself was separate from ED Rd, itself separate from the Worlingham Rd job. And then there was the quarter million NX Rd entrance fiasco when they just did about 50m of LL and then finally what they did in the last week. The section of LL remaining is in just as bad shape as what was renewed. The cost of restarting the site (as inevitably they will have to soon) will be eye-watering compared to doing the lot in one.

And in all of this they still haven't done a bloody thing to sort out the EDGrove/LL junction which remains incredibly dangerous for pedestrians.

If anyone can explain the council's logic unless it is to get the poorest value for money from our taxes, I'm all ears.

See attached notification from Southwark Council back in October.

There was no indication the whole of Lordship Lane was going to be resurfaced.

Kalamitikel, I hadn?t seen that before. It just seems odd to cause so much disruption and not do the whole thing. The bit of LL from the cinema to Woodfalls is not in great condition. They did that in my road a few years ago: just resurfaced half of it. The next day, a utility company dug part of the new surface up! I couldn?t believe my eyes! The second half of the road was redone a few years later!

I live on part of the resurfaced road and didn't get any letters.

EAst Dulwich bingo. But do you live in a proposed CPZ?

[KalamityKel]

It's interesting those in the sections that were resurfaced didn't get letters. I'm in the bit that didn't have any work done as was notified...

Not quite sure what your reference to any proposed CPZ is all about nxjen mind.
