Anyone know what’s happened on the Lordship Lane Estate? Lots of police, ambulances, areas cornered off, police tape everywhere. Lordship Lane side of the Estate near Melford Road.

Argh!!! Thank you so much for sharing this - I literally live above the shops opposite all this, and I had no idea this was happening until the temporary lights went in, the traffic went nuts, the bus stops closed, and the sign for 13 weeks of roadworks went up. Why don’t we, as residents all get these updates? (Rhetorical question!). The South Circ is a joke - 20mph and always rammed. Buses always getting caught in the middle and timetables up the spout. Deep sigh. I do hope though that this helps to ease the flow of traffic and slow down the large numbers of speeding vehicles between the South Circ junction and Overhill Road… and makes it safer for all. If, when they mention re-working the pavements, they actually mean, making them fully accessible too - no more battling tree roots, upended pavement slabs, and a lot of rubbish from the lack of wheelie bins provided for the shops / flats above (we’re not allowed to have wheelie bins (WTF!) or food refuse collection, although it’s illegal to put food waste in general household waste), then GREAT news. But no one who lives or works/owns the shops directly opposite had ANY notice about this, consultations, nothing. So I find it fascinating so many others had letters from much further away 😑😒 Again thank you for sharing. Would be good to have copies of these up at the Bus Stops that are closed. But of course TfL won’t do something that helpful. There’s no explanation or dates to help manage anyone’s expectations of the works. Selfish request: no overnight works - they are heinous.
