Snow arrived in Southwark over a week ago. None of the official London Cycle Network was gritted but fortunately warmer rain on Saturday resolved most of the snow and ice. No thanks to Southwark Council this time round.

But some key parts of that network still have snow and ice as they are over bridges – which stay colder as they have cold air above and beneath them. This is a picture of LCN23 on Greendale. This is the main spine cycle route south to north in Southwark. At this point you have to get of and walk.

How many car drivers does Sotuhwark expect on their main roads to be out of their cars and push?

 

The problem with such bridges was raised last year and agreed they needed more priority.

I’ll be seeking a full review of the Winter Service Plan.

What do you think has gone wrong?
