Roadworks capital of London

[MonkeyNews]

I’m starting a petition to make East Dulwich the roadworks capital of London.

This year it’s been easier to count how many weeks there haven’t been any roadworks.

You may have better things to do with your life.  How are you going to start a petition and what are you going to do with it?  Ask the government to nationalise Thames Water?  Meanwhile scores of people are being killed daily trying to get food and water in Gaza.

I think the petition  was a joke, Malumbu.

So let's hear it from the 'nothing to see here' Southwark Council cheerleaders then

Oh, the humanity.

The borough is about 30 square kilometres, so that’s one closure per sq km. Spread over months. The quieter months in the calendar for road use. Some of these closures are a day or two.
 

This is a space filling listicle in a local rag. I genuinely could not give a toss.

You may want to not jump on a post that is clearly tounge in cheek. It actually made me smile because they have a point re the the roadworks.

So far they have been knowhere near the pain that the recent closure on Peckam Rye/ East Dulwich Road caused. It did keep me fit though cause it was pointless getting a bus from the Gardens to Rye Lane. So I walked it daily. I got caught once and it took 15 minutes just to reach the Nigel Road stop.

Does anyone know when the works outside goose green / lordship lane are due to finish? Such an eyesore in front of our beloved EDT
