12 September - Bexley’s finest engineering brains choose Lego bricks

Bollards to BexleyIf you build roads with wide sweeping ninety degree bends without a kerb to mark their edges, expect the occasional nasty accident caused by those who ought never to have been given a driving licence. Perhaps they weren’t.

There are very few solutions that Bexley Council could adopt but the obvious and most sensible would be to not promote staff beyond their level of competence; another might be to install more attractive traffic resistant bollards.

Probably the unsightly concrete Lego bricks favoured by Bexley Council will blight the Public Realm in what masquerades as the borough’s premier shopping destination for many years to come. The blocks outside Abbey Wood Station were placed there on 26th November 2019 and replaced even larger ones which protected the station during construction.

The best brains in Bexley have failed to come up with a better solution.
