3 September - The traffic chaos goes on and on
Six weeks ago reports came in that Wickham Lane was totally disrupted by the installation
of a roundabout and I took some
photos of the mess
that Bexley council had created. Further reports say work has stalled so I drove by twice
between 11 a.m. and noon today and it’s true. I saw no sign of progress or anyone
on site or indications that there may have been activity recently. Nothing!
On my return trip I was sixth in line waiting for the lights and when the green
came the first three vehicles and the fifth got through, the rest of us had to
wait again. If that happens in the middle of the day, it must be every bit as
bad in the rush hour as reports suggest. Let’s hope it gets finished
quicker than the 18 months and more that it has taken Bexley’s incompetent
contract managers to (not quite) finish Abbey Road. “Listening to you, working for you”. What a joke.
“Laughing at you, wreaking havoc”; would be nearer the truth.
