They?ve either not looked at it or are deliberately ignoring it. I?ll call and chase tomorrow.

This shows three vehicles waiting at a red light/ pedestrian crossing

[first mate]

The ambulance is past the red light but still being held up.

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

There has always been traffic and a set of traffic lights there.

[Pugwash]

Thursday 17th - nobody could get up Dog Kennel Hill due to an accident, so all traffic was diverted via ED Grove/ Redpost Hill/Sunray Avenue

Thanks First mate, saved me typing, the lights were irrelevant here. Traffic was to station and to roundabout. It isn't like that all the time but much more often since planters. Also what's with all the multi coloured paint on road by planters, looks like all about to be dug up or changed again?

[first mate]

Yes, the planters have had a major, negative impact on traffic on main routes and if this is now also hindering emergency services that is very worrying.

[Rockets]

And still we hear nothing from the council. This is what happened at Loughborough Junction, council ignored the feedback from residents on what was going on and then had to wait until the emergency services told them their road closures were endangering lives (well they ignored them to begin with until the local MP intervened at the behest of the ambulance services).

Southwark and our local councillors seem to have their heads in the sand too, hoping the problem evaporates....

Agreed. I would also be very keen to understand the knock on impact on bus travel times. Presumably this is something that TFL monitor.
