Last week the road was dug up by the unlit pedestrian refuge in Abbey Road,
a conduit installed, and the road left in a poor state. Over the hot weekend the pipe
drooped across the carriageway already too narrow for buses to pass each other safely. I had
thought that the bollard might not reach its first birthday in an unlit state but Bexley’s
continued negligence may prove me wrong.
Today I watched the traffic swerving to avoid it so I have secured it in the hole behind the
exposed kerbstones.
