I live in Honor Oak Road just 100 yards up from the south circular. Today at about 4pm, I looked outside my bedroom window and saw many vehicles struggling with the icy and snowy conditions. I then went outside with my cricket boots to help motorists out. I joined a number of local residents further up the road to assist the movement of traffic after the P4 had come to a standstill up from Manor Mount. We found grit, spades, directed and assisted drivers and were there for more than 3 hours helping the traffic flow and preventing cars crashing into parked cars. The conditions were unbelievable!! We managed to get Honor Oak Road moving again and got the bus moved on too. Then, after a picture was taken of us 'workers', a gritter lorry came dowm my road after 7pm! No doubt I told them what I thought of them! Nonetheless, an incredible community spirit amongst residents of Forest Hill, prevented a probable catastrophic disaster this afternoon on our road.
