Lordship Lane closed between Court Lane and Grove Tavern (26 August 2021 - am)

[Siduhe]

Just a heads up that Lordship Lane is closed between the Court Lane and the Grove Tavern, I think due to a traffic accident (judging by number of ambulances early this am). As a consequence, all buses and traffic are being diverted around Melford and Underhill (where there are traffic works) and as a result it is carnage. Two double decker buses coming opposite ways have been stuck opposite each other on Melford for about 15 mins as they can't get past the parked cars and can't reverse. Avoid if possible.

If only there was another route available, something like a way through the village, which would allow traffic to flow around this problem. 🤔

Updated to say that a neighbour has moved their car and traffic is now flowing again, but it's still pretty busy.

To be fair, I'm not sure that opening up Court Lane and the Village Junction would help the 197, 185 and 176 get through to Forest Hill from LL, but it definitely means that the only available route for all traffic right now is around these streets. I didn't enjoy leaving the house on my bike today.

Some kind of permeable barrier, that emergency vehicles and traffic could cross when directed by a police officer, you mean?

Well there was when I went through about 9am. Pedestrians and cyclists were allowed through on the pavement. Sympathies to those who really needed to drive round.
