22 August - Narrow minds, narrow roads
For a short time at
yesterday’s funeral
the conversation turned to the idiocy to be seen in both Greenwich and Bexley, the narrowing of perfectly good roads
at enormous expense and the disruption to life that is inevitable while the work
is done and then for ever afterwards as traffic exceeds road capacities.
I was in two minds whether or not to return home via Gravel Hill but in the
early afternoon there were no problems - or anyone to be seen working on the scheme for that matter.
Then someone new to Bonkers emailed to say exactly what he thought of the
non-stop Council road madness.
I was in
the Bexleyheath Mall car park today and when I drove out I had to take the usual route around
the roundabout to get back in the correct direction to get to Townley Road.
It was then that I saw the width restriction and the cycle lane. This section is
an accident waiting to happen. Which arsehole thought this dangerous, useless scheme up?
Our council is making this shopping centre a no go area with its so called
improvements. It has got to the stage that we try to avoid going to Bexleyheath
and when we do go it’s only to Marks & Spencer or Wilkinsons.
