I walked past the cut-off junction at NCR five times yesterday throughout the day - fairly well spread out times - earliest was 12 midday, latest was 6pm. Not a soul even present at the roadworks - not even sitting in a van having their tea break.

It's nearly a month since I started this thread, and the "work" (hollow laugh) had been going on for ages even at that point.


It is beyond ridiculous now.


OK, they had to wait for some materials (so one wonders why they didn't wait for them to come before they started. The muddling through approach to building - sadly I know it well :( ).


They've now got the materials. Apparently.


So why aren't they (expletive deleted) finishing this?

There probably needs to be some kind of investigation as to how frequently Conway contracts for Southwark overrun on the quoted schedule for completion. I wonder if there are penalties? How does this affect budgets? We should also consider the knock on effects for residents and whether a monetary value can be placed on that.


There will be great interest as to whether Conway hit the advertised date of 31st August for completion of Townley works. Last time I spoke to guys on the ground they said no way.


It does show pretty shoddy and chaotic planning and perhaps a sense of things being done on the hoof, to begin work without orders and essential materials well in place.

Full term begins at both JAGS and Alleyns on Sept 3rd (staff and young ones in on the 1st and 2nd). If the works aren't completed by then, it will be chaos... oh, no, wait, everyone will be happily cycling in, so it won't be a problem. As you were...

There was a plethora of bods when I drove past 1/2 hour ago.. Loads of action.


Strangely dressed in what appeared to be Brand new High-vis. gear and new white Hard Hats...

Looked like scene from a soap opera.. when they go overboard with the costume department.


Perhaps they are expecting a visit from some Top Brass..

When I worked in local government, the auditors (internal and external) went over every item of expenditure (big and small) with a fine tooth comb. Someone should pursue an audit of Southwark's contracts with Russ Conways. There used to be a power for local taxpayers to query items of expenditure at audit time - can't remember the details.

I have spent most of the day on the move in South London and not matter were you go Conway has the roads up.


Latest top of Camberwell Grove junction along with all the pavements up.


Perhaps this is where the NCR workers are now.

    • 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".
