Look at post Southwark nx road plans 11 nov 2014. Shows more than just resurfacing. Cllr Barber responses to all


You might have to dig not too good with it but it's there

Yes . Exactly..


It's a minor inconvenience if you need the bus stop..


The crossing is still in place..

BUT Iceland has now gone. I'm sure it will all be fixed by the time M&S comes to town.

Otherwise there will be riots.


Foxy

But the point is, it's an "inconvenience" which is going on far longer than it should because nobody is bloody working on it.


And it's probably not a "minor" inconvenience if you have a disability which means it takes you much longer than most people to walk to another bus stop.


GRRRRRRRRR.

Ah OK, fair enough then, (nearly) all is forgiven :)

Just to note that the workmen are out there today installing kerbs.


I was so happy to see this that I chatted to the guys and asked what the hold-up was and they said that they had to wait for the granite kerbs to arrive from China.


The kerbs should be done by Monday and then they'll install the pavement, so hopefully it will all be done by the end of next week, fingers crossed.


The granite deliver delay isn't a wind-up, this has happened before (the Melbourne/EDG raised junction for example)... Southwark orders in bulk to save money (not just from China, there have been delays from Ireland as well), but works get delayed when supply runs out of the specified units.

  • 2 weeks later...

Pleased to report that they are charging through the road works at the moment at least 3 stones completed a day................


Really can they go any slower ?


There are no more then 4 workmen on site at one time and by the looks of it 2 have to be talking and eating or sitting ?


WTF how slow when is the completion date 2018 ? Totally acceptable for a main road to take this long,

Will reduce the cost of a barrier if Cllr B thinks it might be a good idea if someone considers it a good idea to boost property valves

Hang on, lads; I've got a great idea.

Let's pedestrianize Lordship Lane, back track on the Melbourne Grove scheme and send all the Buses through there.

    • the same complaint was made about usa news stations 4 years ago.  its an old story. Its quite shocking how intelligent people are so easily manipulated. I
    • With slightly less respect Headnun I have  watched the 1 hour video - he said what he said and he did what he did. And his faux-wink wink “no violence people” fools no one but fools. Are you a fool?    the bbc told the truth - and it’s a straight up lie to say otherwise. Did they edit and cut to the chase to make a point? Absolutely  and correctly  he was not edited to say things he didn’t say  I cannot believe you watched the entire video and are trying to say the bbc edit somehow misrepresented what he said and Back in the real world - did the nutters who showed up at the white house materialise because of a bbc edit ffs - have some self respect and recognise what’s going on 
    • Friends and family in the 'States always say how wonderful it is to be in Britain and see our news coverage.  It's all partisan out there. The BBC manages to simultaneously p off the left and the right so must be doing something right.
    • From the BBC: "The conclusion of that deliberation is that we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action. The BBC would like to apologise for that error of judgement." What is wrong is editing someone to make him say something they didn't.  With respect Sephiroth, this is something I know a bit about and I have encountered, over the last decade, people in programming editing contributors to make them say things they didn't, the end point being to hang them out to dry. It's happening more and more and it's my job to make sure that people on TV are not mis-represented, but shown in their true light so that viewers can make up their own minds. You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and how hard some us fight to keep things impartial.  It's also worth mentioning that I have personally lost work because of Trump suing US networks, and that's one of the lesser reasons why I'd like to see him gone.  But broadcasters have a moral obligation to tell the truth and that's the hill that most decent professionals in the industry are willing to die on. Otherwise, how can the viewing public trust anything that's beamed into their living rooms?
