3 July (Part 2) - Bexley 1: Greenwich nil
It
has taken longer than one might hope but the
potholes
pictured here in April have been repaired. Not just a temporary
bodge-up but a thorough two night long resurfacing job.
The junction of Knee Hill, Abbey Wood Road, Wilton Road and Abbey Road serves
seven bus routes (not counting school buses) and upwards of 60 buses an hour
taking the right angle bend between Knee Hill and. Abbey Road. It sits right on the borough boundary.
Coupled with the adverse camber and the stopping and starting due to both a
pedestrian crossing and Elizabeth line related congestion, the asphalt takes an absolute pounding.
It looks to be a good job until you take a look at the Greenwich side. Labour
controlled Greenwich has done nothing.
It is probably a reasonable illustration of the direction Great Britain plc will take after tomorrow.
The New Road Layout sign in Photo 1 was put there circa 2004. One day a scrap merchant might do Bexley a favour and take it away.
