Anybody know what the hell they are doing on Lordship Lane??? When will it all be finished?????


And why they need to start at 8'o clock in the morning when most decent people are still asleep?????


With that and the late night noise due to pissheads in all the various bars its become impossible for me to get a decent night's sleep in my own home.

I've noticed a lot more roadworks on several roads between here and central London of late.


I know Thames Water are doing a major upgrade but not sure if that's behind LL work


That said - 8am on a weekday? What decent/lucky people aren't on their way to work by then?

Most decent people are on their way to being up, dressed and preparing for their daily business at 8am. Many decent people are already at work.


By the sound of it, that's quite a sensible time to start. Daylight ensured and they're likely to finish earlier in the day so that by the time the majority of people come back from work the noisy stuff is finished and they can put their children to sleep.



: P

In my opinion, 9 would be a good time to start. They could still do a day's work and be finished before most people got home from work. Not everybody is up at 8am, I don't start work til half nine for example, so generally get up at about 8:45. There are also many doctor's, nurses, shift workers, etc who don't work to a 9-5 schedule. Are they not decent people too?

the bastards- how dare they take CAR PARKING spaces away from the Opressed motorist in their unending quest to " provide utility supply improvements for the community"


I drove the 200M to LL this AM and it took me 40 minuts of driving around to find a space


stealth tax etc

The contractor doing the work wants to get paid for eight weeks on the job, when everyone knows it could be done in four if everybody pulled their fingers out.


The result? Half a dozen men, standing around a half-dug hole in the road, smoking roll-ups at looking at page 3.

that and the fact that different companies have different shareholders and obligations to turn profits - if a cable company has just spent x million on a project and unable to undertake upgrade y for 6 months, that isn't going to hold up outstanding water repairs for example

There seem to be gas mains being replaced all over London.


My theory is that it's related to a fairly recent gas explosion in a house which killed a guy, and which I think was due to a leaking gas main.


Not long ago, you could smell gas in various streets around London.


I guess they don't want a repetition (and don't want to have to pay out loads of dosh in compensation to the grieving relatives?)


Just a guess ....

Dear *Bob*




I think I am missing the plot a little, can you explain what half a hole is please. I thought a hole was a hole.


(One of our quiz questions was 'If it takes three men three days to dig a hole, how long will it take one man, one day to dig half a hole?' . Every body would write down one day Ha Ha!

We had Thames Water digging up Ivydale Road for about 9 months and half the road was blocked off to traffic so buses and other vehicles had to turn down the side road. If you were a few minutes late home from work, you had no chance of parking on Ivydale, most of the time I had to park on one of the few remaining side roads. I thought it was all over until recently when they blocked off the road AGAIN whilst they dug up and resurfaced the road AGAIN.


It was all quite entertaining as buses confronted other buses and cars contronted cars and lorries coming round the corner, we witnessed many a stand-off.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
