More then 10 minutes this lunch time, was stuck on East Dulwich road for ages right up by the junction with crystal palace road, then more traffic queing right past barry road coming down forest hill road, seems the road going down towards rye lane is closed today. there seemed to be a guy manually operating the lights form a box on a trailer by the time I eventually got to them, at one point he missed letting the traffic I was in going through, most frustrating. Very rammed round that part of the rye so would avoid today.

> a box on a trailer

Is it a F.M.Conway box?

Is it true that all the councils are trying to use up their budgets before the end of the financial year? Wouldn't it make sense to do something about the potholes?

Hi Unclegren, there appears to be alot of roadworks at the moment due to last summer's Olympics. There were no scheduled roadworks allowed over an extended summer period, also TFL were not signing works off on TFL routes. The recent works around Peckham Rye were scheduled projects, so the money can't get diverted to potholes.

All public sector organisations try to use up their budgets before the end of the financial year!!!!

If they go under, their budgets will be less next year, so why wouldn't they do that?

Any idea as to the reason for the latest East Dulwich Rd roadworks including the steel pole that has emerged, opposite Tesco? Is it supposed to alleviate the traffic? If so, how so?

Zebra crossing.
