Reports
of minor prangs in Abbey Road continue to filter through but always too late for me to see the evidence,
until this morning that is, when snow provided a clue. A car going towards Erith took to the
pavement possibly in an effort to avoid an obstruction at the bus stop. The precise details are unknown.
It probably didn’t help that councillor Craske’s “flexible”
approach to road gritting means that there has been no sign of a gritter in this area.
Maybe it is better news that yesterday I had an email from Bexley council. In it Mr. Filey (Senior
Engineer, Traffic and Road Safety Group) says he was unaware that the speed indicators in Abbey
Road weren’t working and promised to have someone attend to them. Strange he didn’t know,
I asked that useless individual Bashford when they were to be restored to service months ago.
