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???

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
