20 April (Part 2) - Useless Idiots
Dates seem to be slipping badly…
There has been absolutely no sign of Bexley Council creating the new public
realm around Abbey Wood station and the blame can probably be laid upon Network
Rail. After months of delays due to the late commissioning of the Stannah lifts
they still have scaffolding and barriers everywhere. It looks like things will
be at least six months late.
Things are not much better to the south in Gayton Road. Interim works
may have made
it wider than it used to be and the double yellow lines have been lost. The result is
very often chaos.
A
few cars can safely park there but it takes a special sort of idiot to park something larger adjacent to the bend
and pop into the Abbey Arms.
When the driver was eventually located he moved his van on to the pavement and went back into the pub.
For how much longer will Bexley Council allow these things to happen? Until they
are able to start the improvement works presumably.
