Hi James, Thanks for the reply. A couple of questions: - How long had the existing entry treatment been in situ? As you can see from the first the other thread, it was in excellent condition (looked practically new). - How much (ball park figure) do these things cost to implement? - What was the intended lifespan when initially installed? - How do we assess value for money when considering these building works?

deleted by me, will resubmit as reply, rather than post.

But it had just been done. Check out the pictures, it looks pratically brand new. As mentioned on that consultation web page: "A large amount of correspondence was received from local residents and stakeholders relating to traffic speed and the need for improved pedestrian crossing facilities in the area." I'd be quite interested to know the details of this correspondence. I can't really see any of my neigbours having suddenly taken issue with traffic speeds and woken from their community action malaise... I'm not saying it isn't a good idea, but it seems wasteful to install a raised carriage way, then demolish the whole thing months later to do the same thing again with a few modifications. Who pays for this...

I've edited the original version to reflect the East Dulwich angle more specifically.

Hello. I thought I had mentioned the location in my orginal post, if not, my apologies. Could this go back to the main section?

Hi James, I started a thread with this query but it seems to have been moved to the Lounge (?!), not sure why. On the corner of Melbourne Grove and East Dulwich Grove, one of those raised crossovers seems to be being removed. I don't think the current version has been there for very long as it is. Do you have any idea what is going on with this?

There's probably a perfectly reasonable explanation, but it does look a little strange... On the corner of Melbourne Grove and East Dulwich Grove there seems to be a quite recent raised crossover (those raised, red brick sections), that is being broken up. I was wondering why? But as mentioned, there could be a very valid explanation for this.
