22 December (Part 1) - Sidcup shut again
My Monday trip to Bromley saw me in Sidcup High Street at ten to seven this
morning. The
only hold up had been the dust cart in Foots Cray Lane but traffic was light and
therefore the delay was minimal. Then I got to Elm Road and with no prior warning
found it completely closed. So straight over at the lights and down some back streets.
Five
minutes wait behind yet another dust cart and then High Street and The Green. I
can only just squeeze through the totally unnecessary width restrictor so it is
not my usual route.
Once again, pity the poor bus drivers. How many routes would be on diversion? I
saw a 321 using The Green a week ago. If The Green is wide enough for a double
deck bus in one direction why the width restriction going the other way? Bexley
Council and the traffic department in particular truly are Bonkers.
