Yes @Pauline, let’s still meet
I was not going to inspect the road surface, but what has been done on the pavements so far.

Is there somebody that we can contact at Lewisham Council to become involved in this saga? It is absolutely disgusting the way this is dragging on. It is beyond inconvenience for local residents, and seriously affecting the local traders. Business may be closed as a result of Kiers inaction. Does anybody have a contact number or email for the contractors?

Im Dartmouth resident for circa a year. And it feels like roadworks are all i have known! Just back from 2 weeks holiday and astonished at the lack of progress.

Do you mean the bit in the diagram labelled as “resin bound gravel surrounding existing trees”?
I have always assumed the answer is a flat surface more porous than normal paving and allowing for a certain amount of shifting for tree roots. Not sure exactly what the plan is with new trees but i doubt it will be much different. Hopefully it is flat rather than a massive raised bed.

Myself & @MajaHilton did a walk around this evening with @anon51837532 helping us and it was very constructive.
Please be assured that anything we can do to help we will be doing.
@MajaHilton especially with suggestions from @anon51837532
Massive Thanks John for all your suggestions, very much appreciated.
And massive thanks Maja for pushing where it needs to be pushed.
Thanks both & hopefully after this evening we can get D Rd opened sooner rather than later.
Thanks both

We looked at this this evening & the covering of the circles/ovals with trees in will be resin which means it will be a flat surface & will work well for us to do occasional events like markets, street parties etc.
Saw the electricity point we can possibly have for future events & think it might work.
So from events point of view from us I think that will work & the space should work too as we can use all the available space on that pavement, but we will have to check when all works are done to be sure.
Speak soon to check this out @Michael

One thing I am worried about is that there will be about 8/9 single chairs installed outside Paddy Power.
Benches are out of the question for obvious reasons (street drinkers sleeping) which I agree with. The chairs look lovely but they will be covered in graffiti & damaged in no time
Everyone agrees this is a bad idea, I have seen the design & they look great bot NOT A GOOD IDEA.

I haven’t seen the chair design so might be wrong. There are single chairs dotted around Brixton - in small groups of 2 or 3. They’re arranged in such a way that you have the option for sociability or solitude.
They’ve been there for a few years without being abused but while being used.

I have to say i think it would be nice to have the chairs.

Single chairs can work well and look good. They are also probably really easy to clean off any graffiti (just like the underpass).
Here’s an example from Lower Marsh in Lambeth/Waterloo
Also from Lower Marsh are the Barrel Planters which we have plans to install on Perry Vale alongside the type towers.
Do we have a finalised date for the reopening of the road?

10th August. And that’s being optimistic!

Hopefully next week!
And just checked about the chairs & they will be bolted to the ground 
In the top picture, it looks as if a few of the chairs are arranged around the garbage bin. I hope we don’t have this.
