That's what it looks like.


WTF?


And they now seem to have some sort of ramp at the end of North Cross Road? It looked at first as if they were going to close the road off completely (permanently) at the Lordship Lane End, given the changes of levels they have now introduced, but no - cars will have to go up. And then down.


Let's hope the end result is worth all this aggro to pedestrians, bus users and drivers over such a long period of time. Grrrrr.

Can James Barber please confirm that Nx rd is not to be closed off at the Ldship end?


To paraphrase Councillor Barber, the stated aim of these works is to make that area a nicer experience for pedestrians.

James has also stated that the new configuration will not in any way affect traffic flow.

these works are quite substantial yet there doesnt seem to be any clear explanation of what they are actually doing anywhere. You could definitely interpret them as closing off northcross road from LL permanently, but i assume this is wrong because surely they would have consulted on that?

Some time ago, when these works were first challenged Cllr Barber said the works were being done for safety reasons. many pointed out that the number of accidents on this road was exceeded by some way by other roads in ED. Cllr Barber then shifted his position and stated the following


"The NXR/LL has a number of pedestrian movements but primarily these works are to make this junction more pleasant and a better experience."


So there you go an expensive and deeply obstructive measure for a somewhat wishy washy reason. Cllr Braber has more recently stated that he is sure it will all be worth it in the end. Okay.

Well they may well be waiting for more material to turn up and everyone is entitled to a lunch break.

Like you said 12.30

The ramp seems to be quite steep.. considering cars turning left from L.L and will be on half lock

this is going to put quite a strain on steering/front bearings and suspension.

As if car drivers don't suffer enough from road humps.

Are the pavements being widened for all the baby buggies?


If they are trying to change our car usage by removing parking spaces; give me a break please? I commute all week and it is a luxury to jump in the car and "do the rounds" on a Saturday. No, I don't mean one end of LL to another but into Crystal Palace, LL etc.


Finally, the work is taking an age!!

Went passed the road works 30 minuets ago still no work men on site, how can they be aloud to get away with this on a day to day basis do we not have council officers that are employed to see that work is carried out correctly and on time.

The point is, that it appears to be taking very very much longer than it should be.


Inconveniencing, for example, people with mobility disabilities and parents with buggies/children who have to walk to/from another bus stop.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
