Lower Melbourne Grove: New Temp Traffic Light

[Monty3005]

Is anyone else being driven absolutely mad by the new temporary traffic light at the junction of Chesterfield and Melbourne Grove? Ear-splitting beeping ever 40 seconds or so. All day. And all night.

For quick reference, the number for noise disturbance on the Southwark council website is wrong. It is now:

0207 525 2000 (choose option 1)

And the number for Conway, the people responsible for installing it (on the actual signal box) is: 07748704404

Construction is supposed go on for an entire month...the council really needs to do something about this. If it also bothers you make sure to contact both numbers with your concern.

It is interesting isn't it how Southwark have greenlighted so many roadwork schemes in such a small area, to all happen simultaneously. It looks to be extremely poor management, which makes you question if many of their decisions to do with traffic and streets are ever well thought out?

Why have such intensive work on Melbourne and Chesterfield at the same time as Lordship Lane and Barry Rd? Do Councillor's enjoy causing chaos or is there some other reason for this? Does it allow them to experiment with traffic management in a way they could not otherwise do?
