9 February (Part 1) - Who is the clown?
I have a friend who drives from Bromley to Abbey Wood three times a week and if one asks “How was the journey?”
the answer is very often, “OK until I got to Bexley”. Not surprising when Bexley’s idea of road
planning is to make them narrower than they need to be and to engineer unnecessary pinch points.
Next week and for six weeks Bexley Council has allowed SGN (Southern Gas
Networks? - their website doesn’t say) to block Blendon Road and Penhill Road
which will severely restrict Abbey Wood to Bromley traffic; and in case that
does not create enough chaos Bexley Village has road works too.
I wonder what our esteemed Mayor has to say about that? His SL3 Superloop
express bus from Thamesmead to Bromley is due to start on 24th February.
The full SGN statement
(I rather like their reference to Damson Underpass) says that Penhill Road will have to be closed Southbound too and the SL3 route uses both.
Fortunately I don’t think the SL3 stops in Blendon or Penhill Roads so it can easily divert via Bexley High Street.
Oh! 😒
