I spotted heavy machinery and 'no parking' cones on Lyndhurst Way today. Could it be the March unused budget is going to be applied there? Unfortunately only half the road seemed to be designated. Why do they always leave unresurfaced bits when they improve a road eg Southampton Way, Peckham Rye.

Does it match "The Ballad of Peckham Rye" by Muriel Spark?

Yes it is like a tramline. Really noticed it today while going down to Peckham rd. The other way to avoid Lyndhurst way is to break the law and cycle down the one way sections of Bellenden rd., which I am loathe to do, despite the excellent road surface.

I reckon Lyndhurst Way. Never resurfaced properly, patched, cracked, pot-holed, speed humped all its length. Even the3 school marking paint is lumpy and bumpy and at least one tree low enough to catch your face. The crossing islands force bikes and motor vehicles together at frequent intervals. It seems unloved by the council yet it is an important thoroughfare for cyclists.
