Junction delays "beyond a joke"

Cllr Brain Woodcraft surveys the ongoing improvement work at Lee Green

Middle Park & Sutcliffe Lib Dem Councillors are calling on Transport for London (TfL) to take urgent action to complete the ongoing improvement works at the Lee Green junction.

It is now more than 12 months since the work began to improve pedestrian safety and traffic flow at this major junction.

Cllr Brian Woodcraft says, "So far TfL have only succeeded in making matters worse. Local residents and shoppers have been inconvenienced by the delays."

Among those worst affected are pedestrians for who it is now even more dangerous to cross the road than before the works started.

Brian added, "We have yet to receive an adequate explanation of why this work has taken so long and, more importantly, how much longer it will be before it is finished".

"We know that some unexpected cables were found when digging up the area which then delayed the work, however it is odd how quickly work was completed in Blackheath village earlier this year while we are still waiting at this end of Lee Road - TfL still has questions to answer."
