Ivydale Road works

As people who live on Linden Grove and Ivydale Rd will doubtlessly know, the roadworks for the new traffic calming measures have now started.

Vikki Mills, one of the Labour Candidates for Peckham Rye ward, lives on Ivydale Rd and has posted lots of useful info on the Peckham Rye Labour blog.

I posted about the Ivydale Road traffic calming last month and this is just a quick update.
Back in October the council told me that the work, initially planned for late spring/summer, would eventually begin in November. The first stage is the resurfacing of Ivydale Road from its junction with St Asaph's Road to its junction with Limesford Road (in Nunhead ward). This work was scheduled to start on 12th November but I understand that it actually started today.
That bit of Ivydale Road is now closed with the P12 on diversion via St St Asaph's road and the Honor Oak estate before going back on route at Brenchley Gardens.Stage two is the resurfacing of rest of Ivydale (this is the bit in Peckham Rye ward and is where I live).
The start date I had was 23rd November but if things are a little behind, and I haven't heard anything, I suspect this means this might still be a week or two away. I'm waiting to hear what this means for the 343 and 484.
Stage three is the construction of the buildouts on Ivydale Road and rolling closures of the road will occur between December and February. Final works to the junction of Kelvington and Hawkslade Roads are programmed for February.

As you say the work has started, my only comment is that the notification of no-parking or where we can park in Ivydale Road whilst the roadworks are in progress. What appears to be random placement of traffic cones and sprayed mesages on the actual road are a confusing. On the whole the work that Southwark carry out is excelent, I just think communication could have been better with this.

So I've gathered! Really not impressed.

Have been onto the highways team several times this week trying to get a proper programme of works out of them and to get them to send a letter properly explaining it all. I'm promised more details tomorrow.

Also mentioned it to Cllr Kyriacou, Executive Member for Environment & Transport tonight and he offered to help sort it out. So hopefully more info v soon.
