20 June - Signs of neglect

New Road Layout Wrong directions Car park entrance blocked Facing the wallA friend gently took the mickey out of me for monitoring a redundant road sign (Photo 1 taken today) for the past 18 years and never remarking on the far more glaring error only a few feet away (Photo 2).

I confess to never having noticed that the signpost is as stupid as the average Councillor and as misleading as a Bexley FOI response.

The aforesaid friend refers to a sign which directs traffic from Abbey Road (B213) along Wilton Road to Abbey Wood station and the car park. Fine, except that there is no access to any car park via Wilton Road. Not even to the eponymously named car park from Gayton Road.

My library of photos say the access point was dug up in November 2018 and never reopened (Photo 3) to vehicular traffic when the Gayton Road reconfiguration was completed seven months later.

The No Left Turn sign (Photo 4) faces the wall so neither especially good nor really bad. Just typical Bexley.

Always remember that Bexley Council does not neglect its northern outposts.
