At a glance the plans seem fine - I'll leave it to others more expert than me to comment on them.

And I know you can't make omelettes without breaking eggs, but the roadworks on Sydenham High Street were absolute torture for many, many months. (Was it a year and a half or did I imagine that?)

So is there anything that can be done in the planning to try to ensure that the disruption is as brief as possible? Throw more money at it so it can be done more quickly? I know, I know... but there's wider costs, too, in terms of lost business for retailers, greater congestion = more pollution etc.
