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.

    • 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".
