Over the last week the traffic going from Queens Road and New Cross Road towards Greenwich has been terrible (and really slow).


It hasn't been just during rush hour either but throughout most the day. It took me 45 minutes the other day to drive from Queens Road (by the station) to Greenwich High Street and that was at 1100.


None of the roads are closed along the A2 (that I know of). Does anyone know why this has happened? Have they changed the timing of the lights somewhere or something?

I drove out to Kent about eight this morning and joined the road at Deptford. It was dreadful crawling past Wickes etc I almost turned off to go through Lewisham and quite a few cars turned back but oddly once beyond shooters hill it magically lifted and the traffic was lighter than usual. I also heard on the radio that there was a problem on the woolwich ferry this morning too.

At least there's a reason. Still annoying though!


I don't see the reason for needing to cause a jam before Greenwich?! It makes no sense to me. Maybe they're trying to make people go another way.


or


Possibly to give security services more time to intervene a car before arrival to Greenwich???

      Well I don't know, and nor do you. Sitting MPs change their parties.

      The Greens are knocking on the door of Labour in a few wards, so yes, there is some voter swing in play from some local canvassing. Elected officials jumping ship is nothing new. Political careerism is also nothing new. On a local level, all candidates for election start as committed party political activists. That's how they get selected to stand. But politics is also a long game. Far better to stay and be part of any swing when it inevitably comes (as it always does), than to close the door altogether imo. I think James failing to become leader probably was the key factor in his decision, but leaving for another party effectively means there is no way back. Maybe he is going to work himself into the future leadership of the Greens instead. Time will tell.  Edited to add that while I can understand why former Labour supporters feel disillusioned with the current government (both local and national), it's important to remember how bad things were under the last one and the coalition before it. It's going to take time for any government to rebuild the economy and pay down the national debt.

      Err, are you saying that the Greens are not a political rival to Labour? Funny how those convictions only come to light when many politicians don't get what they want....do you honestly think that Cllr McAsh would have defected had he been allowed to lead Southwark council? Absolutely 1000% not.

      He's not acting according to his convictions though, he's acting entirely according to his own ambition and self interest.  I'd be very concerned if I was a parent of a child in the Primary School he teaches at. His new party advocate teaching primary school children how to use crack cocaine and heroin: https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/21/green-party-says-primary-school-children-should-be-taught-to-take-drugs-safely-27031825/   Anyway, I feel we will finally be well rid of him. I don't believe he will stand in this ward. He will have a much better chance of election in Nunhead and Queens Road.
