A driver crashed into the Goose Green Roundabout at the beginning of the month causing a fair amount of damage.


Conway are rebuilding it but because it needs a lot of work and i guess there is no where safe to do that from without closing the road, they've had to put traffic lights in.

And that?s just it, with the recent road closures the contingency for routes has been removed. So when an issue on a main artery arises (several times already in the last 12 months, no?) there is pure gridlock. Well that?s really fecking clever.

Perhaps these stoopid decisions had to occur so that we?d (the council) get the chance to see how unrealistic they are in practice, at least for the moment.

The principle is sound, but I think further actual practical forethought and gradual acceleration of supporting schemes is needed to have succeeded before attempting this next time.

I was just waiting, just waiting, for the sound of an ambulance and the blue flashing lights, to see what happens in this gridlock. One thing that occurred to me was that if I have a heart attack and an ambulance is needed, I?m dead. Most people would be with such gridlock - the ambulance couldn?t even get TO you. Traffic congestion like that means you?re living as good as many miles away from the hospital.

Anyway, I didn?t see an ambulance, how could I? If there had been one it couldn?t have got to LL where I was today in gridlock.

That?s a pretty serious change to your options. Never needed it myself, but I?d much rather have the option of being saved by an ambulance, or having someone drive me to hospital in the case of an emergency. Today was another example of that being as likely to happen as getting an invite to the Dulwich Square tea dance.

Shows how much the council actually cares about air quality. I never thought they gave a monkey's for their ratepayers convenience but I was prepared to believe they might want cleaner air. Why couldn't they open the side roads?

Obviously no-one from The Village is being affected

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
    • That's terrible 🤬 Was it the same company both times?
