For the last 3 days (at least) there have been road closed signs from the junction / roundabout of Perry Rise down to Houston Road, and seemingly past it.
There does not appear to be any work going on in the first section anyway, and the signs are on the side of the road not in the middle.
Cars, bikes etc seems to still be going up and down as normal - have these signs be left by accident, or put out too far ahead of works.does anyone know?
I know quite a few roads are being closed for works (water I think) but just seems odd to have signs out for so long with no sign of anything happening.
WOOLSTONE ROAD: From 08:00 Monday 18 April to 16:00 Friday 08 July, route 75 is on diversion between Catford Hill and Perry Vale via Perry Hill and Perry Rise due to water works.
Thats a long closure!
Does the 75 now go all the way down Perry Rise to Perry Hill, straight over to the turning circle beyond Sainsburys and back to turn right onto Perry Hill? And do diverted buses stop on their diverted route?
Unfortunate! Iām always tickled by Googleās pub icon ā an elegant-looking martini glass. Not really appropriate for some of the dodgy pubs Iāve been intoā¦
As a regular user of the 75 bus, such a long closure is quite annoying. When I walked along Woolstone Road yesterday evening though, it was great to see quite a lot kids of different ages using the road closure to enjoy playing, roller skating and riding bikes in the road in the sunshine. Would be great to have some traffic free areas locally for kids to do this normally.
the thing is - I think they did this on the road I live on in 2-3 days. I know Woolstone is longer and wider, but I still suspect the job will take a lot less than 3 months. Perhaps it willā¦ or perhaps itās closed āin preparationā for the work.
I find the general way is if Thames Water say they have, they havenāt. (When they did it in my street it turned out they actually just closed off one of the pipes in the street so both sides used the same)
I donāt expect the supply pipes replacement to take more than a few days. But we are having difficulty with the drain at the corner with Vancouver Road. It may be that work on the drains/sewer will also be done.
Thereās nothing showing for Woolstone Road on Thames Waterās website (neither on the long-term improvements page nor the short-term improvements page).
Thereās also nothing on the London Register of Roadworks website, although interestingly it does show work on Selworthy and Winsford Roads near Bell Green: āSiting of welfare unit for lead pipe replacement operativesā and āWorks to carry out 82 customer service relays as part of the Thames water lead pipe replacement program.ā
Weāve had the same latter. Works have been underway for several weeks on nearby roads.
Restrictions were only on parking though, so maybe works on Woolstone are different.
On the topic of road closures, does anyone know whatās happening with Brockley Grove at Crofton Park? The small building at the corner (housing a well-known estate agent) got damaged a while ago and ever since the road has been closed towards Ladywell, with the P4 being diverted. I hope theyāre not waiting for some sort of court order before doing away with the damage.
