Lordship Lane Gas works
September 1st, 2010 by James BarberThe gas works and the ‘temporary’ removal of the pedestrian phase at the junction of Lordship Lane with Barry Road junction (where Dulwich Library is) and vehicles, due to temporary lights, driving on the opposite side of the road causes me very real fear.
This is exactly the scenario we had over at Peckham Rye/East Dulwich Road junction where a young school girl tragically died crushed by a lorry while trying to navigate the temporary situation on her way to school.
Is everything being done to speed these works through?
Can a temporary lolly pop person be assigned to help kids cross as this is a route to school for many when local schools return tomorrow?
I’ve asked these questions of the lead council manager. Southwark schools go back today and these works are near a school.
I’m really fearful that we are going to have a tragic repeat.
