DJKillaQueen, couldn't sgree more with your post. It's simply unnaceptable that such a dangerous junction can be left in it's disfunctional state for so long without positive action. Especially considering the amount of near misses and the recent death.

So tired of hearing excuses from the council in the form of 'consultancy', 'pending approval', 'olympics' etc...

Maybe after the next inevitible accident the person or people responsible can be tried for corporate manslaughter for their lack of action?

May make them take their responsibilities little more seriously.

The people who could & maybe should care about this, the safety of the community & road users in general .... just don't.

They are not accountable, have nothing to fear if somebody else is hurt .... so it actually matters not to them that the situation is dangerous. There will be weasel words of sympathy, excellent explanations & hand wringing ..... all to no avail. As nothing is being done.

But what actually we have is power without accountability.

A very dangerous combination & one that often leads, as in this case, to inactivity, lethargy & inertia.


In a normal business, somebody who dilly'd & dallied & procrastinated like this would be sacked, in short order &

somebody with skill, ability & who had a sense of duty would be appointed.

Evening all,


I've followed this thread with interest and I'm now appealing for witnesses. At 9.05pm this evening I was hit from behind and the vehicle drove straight off. It's possible that the poor phasing of the lights was to blame as our lights had turned green but there were numerous vehicles still turning from the other direction. No major damage, though my passenger and I were a little shaken, but that's not the point. I can't believe someone can slam into the back of a car and not stop to check if the passengers are OK. Did anyone see anything?

I've had a response, Southwark are still waiting for the OK from TFL. The consultation has been done, so once this is received works can commence. The delay has been due to a backlog of items for TFL to deal with due to the Olympics.

I was told the works on this junction would be done within the next six months (ie within this financial year).

Once I have more specific information, I'll post again.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
