19 March - Bexleyheath. Keep out
Still
nothing of note to report. Meanwhile here are some pictures of how Bexleyheath
is faring under the ill-conceived traffic diversions.
The first picture shows a bus in the far distance at the Watling Street/Gravel
Hill junction - click image to enlarge. It took six minutes to get to where the
photographer was standing.
The reason isn’t hard to see, traffic exiting Highland Road blocks the junction
because of congestion in Arnsberg Way which queues all the way down to the
Broadway junction with Albion Road which is traffic light controlled due to the
decision to send diverted traffic around town in a counter-clockwise direction.
It always seemed to be a mad idea but at least we have the pleasure of knowing
that the man who sanctioned it was
given a £9,469 bonus.
