South Circular roadworks - excessive disruption

[Rockets]

Is it Thames Water again?

What work are they doing outside ED station? Another route in and out of Dulwich disrupted...it's becoming a badly organised joke.

No idea, but whatever it was was backing up the traffic right up Lordship Lane.

There were four way (it said) lights before the roadworks, and a whole lane of the road dug up (on the station side).

I'm not sure, but think it might be. Looked like there were pipes going in.

Walked past yesterday, it's not Thames Water, but Conway on behalf of Southwark Council. 

Don't know why they couldn't have done it alongside the night time resurfacing of that stretch a couple of weeks back.

Ah so it's part of the Melbourne Grove Streets for People works then. Madness that the council goes ahead with this when there are so many other works disrupting traffic in the area but I suspect year end budget surplus spends are at play here. Who at the council is responsible for the co-ordination of this type of thing?
