I had a look at the works today while in Forest Hill centre.

As far as I could see, the works had been completed, and permanent looking patch repairs made to the carriageway - which would explain why no one was working today.

It may be that there are more works to do which are not apparent to a mere lay person, or important checks, but if not, the only outstanding task is the removal of the barriers and the temporary traffic lights.

I hope I'm wrong and that the works are not in fact completed, but if they were completed yesterday, it's a bit much to have caused an extra day or two of serious disruption just because no one has got around to moving the barriers.

I did report this to the emergency number, and the person to whom I spoke offered to phone me back, but have not done so. The number is 08450701431
