26 November - Correcting the mistakes
Another
day, another excuse to spend our money. I asked the contractor’s man what is
going on this time; it’s the only way to get a straight answer. Apparently the
surface water accumulates at this point and another drain is to be installed.
I’ve not seen puddles here but water does
accumulate on the other side
of the road. And why are some of the pedestrian refuges being excavated and then
filled in again? Because they are a centimetre too high, as if that makes any
real difference to road safety. But better I suppose than in Bromley where it
seems to be policy to have the traffic islands about 25 centimetres above the road
surface and where destroying front suspension systems is what that council does best.
