15 October (Part 2) - Millions spent, no worthwhile improvements anywhere
Absolutely no one could point to a single improvement to the driving
experience on Bexley’s roads over the past ten years after
asking the
question 48 hours ago, which will surprise no one, however I am
not alone in no longer using The Green in a westerly direction. Too may alloy
wheels being damaged apparently and to the extent that it is suggested someone
in the Council has an interest in a wheel repair shop or steering alignment facility.
It must be something to do with its dangerous alignment and awkward approach. I
drive through a similar restrictor every time I drive to East Ham and that is
six inches narrower than the one in Sidcup. But the approach is straight.
Fortunately the tyres on my car are chunky enough to raise the alloys above
granite kerb level so there has been no temptation to bring a claim against our
driver hating Council.
