Wetherspoons pub and across the road

Turd 💩 (Thames) Water as struck again. I have lost count how many times a burst water as occurred in the area and is fixed and then burst again, this that is why I have withheld my water bill for the past six years and refuse to pay it until they get themself in order and stop paying their CEO Chris Weston over £1.035m and the last CEO Sarah Bentley was paid over £2m per year. They are completely NOT fit for purpose and the water regulator OWAT is useless and done nothing about the increase of pollution in our rivers. That is why more and more people are withholding their water bills as nothing is been done about them. they are putting they shareholders as first priority before their customers. Also they have a monopoly as we can't choose which water company we can go to unlike the energy companies .

The council should have the power to give them deadlines like repair to been done within 24 to 48 hours and if they fail that they have to pay for each hour or part of

B or unclassified road £250,000 per hour
A roads such as the South Circular £500,000 per hour [/b]

The temporary lights were faulty this afternoon. Cars were still going down Devonshire Road when the green light for pedestrians was bleeping.

Almost'ish done earlier today, but not back to normal yet. Bus stops in Forest Hill on the Sainsbury's side remain closed. Sure that is inconvenient for the many, not the few. Thames Water and TfL, Get It Sorted........................

Years ago we used to have temporary bus stops placed near to the closed stops.

It was dreadful without temporary stops this time around. There were additional closures of the Forest Hill Pools stops on Dartmouth Road, so anyone coming from Sydenham would have to get off at the Thorpewood Avenue bus stop and walk down into the town centre, while those from Dulwich had to get off at Horniman Museum and walk down London Road.

The closest bus stop open close enough to the town centre was the 122/185 bus stop on Waldram Crescent and the Honor Oak Road bus stop on London Road towards Dulwich.

Totally agree.
Funny that TfL say "every journey matters", yeah right, I don't think so.
Temporary Stops should be re-introduced by Thames Water.
