Waterloo Road's a residential street, at least at the St George's Circus end, lined with hostels, student accomodation, private and socal residential flats and a 4-star hotel.

Surely they wouldn't deprive hundreds of people of two weeks sleep simply for the convenience of commuters.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123603#msg-123603 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:15:18 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123585#msg-123585 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Hatts) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123585#msg-123585 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:55:20 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123410#msg-123410 forum@london-se1.co.uk (turtmcfly) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123410#msg-123410 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:02:11 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123377#msg-123377 forum@london-se1.co.uk (jamesup)
More needless is the disruption as Boris paints the roads up to Southwark bridge Blue for his Cycle Superlane. They are at Tooting now...

The curb changes took on Great Suffolk Street took months, utterly bizarre. Worst was the insistance that just because a tiny bit of road was unpaved the whole thing had to be shut.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123377#msg-123377 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 22:04:28 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123335#msg-123335 forum@london-se1.co.uk (theedy)
Two problems. The works may never finish. My car may have disappeared down a pothole before then.

I kid you not. I have a house in Cyprus, thus a Landcruiser to navigate the roads. It would be challenged by Waterloo Road from the Cut to the roundabout. Why can they not fill the holes in, even on a temporary basis?]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123335#msg-123335 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:02:04 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123290#msg-123290 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Tolstoy) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123290#msg-123290 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:12:25 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123281#msg-123281 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Phil_R)
From this vantage point, it seems far from progress I can tell you. Especially when you can't actually 'progress' anywhere.

However the drain hole that fell open has taken a couple of weeks to get properly fixed.

Having arrived here only 5 years ago I have reached the conclusion that there is a 100% chance of roadworks on my bus route into the West End at all times.

Waterloo Station and surrounds is a night mare and it's reached the point where I don't even attempt to walk these days.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123221#msg-123221 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 14:46:26 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123180#msg-123180 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Possel)
No, he doesn't - he cares for only certain sub-sections, such as any racial minority, and roadworks were no better with him either.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123180#msg-123180 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 13:16:11 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123178#msg-123178 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Gavin Smith) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123178#msg-123178 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:53:10 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123173#msg-123173 forum@london-se1.co.uk (jackie rokotnitz) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123173#msg-123173 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:26:39 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123163#msg-123163 forum@london-se1.co.uk (JonR) [quote]Section 58 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 is a legal notice which is served on all the 'statutory undertakers' who carry out work in the county. It allows local authorities to protect sections of the highway from certain works, following substantial road works (e.g. resurfacing or reconstruction).

The Council provides advance notice of these restrictions, so that works promoters (Utility companies, or private contractors / developers) can arrange to conduct their works in advance of the restriction coming into force. This process promotes better works planning and co-ordination, helps minimise disruption to road users, and helps to prolong the life of the roads.

The restrictions can last up to five years following the completion of the works. Emergency works such as gas escapes or loss of power are exempt from the restriction.[/quote]]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123163#msg-123163 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:11:38 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123157#msg-123157 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Colinio) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123157#msg-123157 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:25:42 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123144#msg-123144 forum@london-se1.co.uk (nelson_) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123144#msg-123144 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:56:27 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123142#msg-123142 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Zoe)
Also, the new road areas are terrible for drainage. The bit of new road on The Cut opposite Southwark College is flooding the whole road when it rains, and I have to stand up on my bike to go over the new raised table at the junction of Union Street and Southwark Bridge Road, it's like a mini lake, I'm sure there's fish living in there.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123142#msg-123142 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 21:15:44 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123139#msg-123139 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Karen I) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123139#msg-123139 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 20:22:17 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123132#msg-123132 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Phil_R)
Blackfriars Road, not wanting to be left out, has had sporadic excavations for months now long after the main diggers left.

Conway and Morrison, the contractors whose logos are etched into residents' brains, seem to be doing very well out of all of this mayhem.

Oh, and Conway have left a lovely Hadrian's Wall-sized pile of bricks ready for relaying Baron's Place right outside the flats opposite The Stage Door pub on Gray Street. Gee. Er. Thanks for asking if we minded. Seeing as the hotel won't be finished for months, I imagine we'll strike up a beautiful relationship with the bricks.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/123132/123132#msg-123132 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:53:53 +0000
