Oddly, no one was trying to fix it.
Thames Water engineers are now on the scene.

I thought I would bump this again - as they have now started to lay the paving slabs from the top of the roundabout, down the hill.

I worked until recently near Elizabeth Street in Victoria, and watched them repave the area (including re-cobbling the road) and was impressed how much work they had put into it, and what a quality job they made of it.

I never thought we would see similar in Sydenham, but they really done a fantastic job so far - if the whole project is undertaken in the same way, to the same level of quality, it will have a great effect on the area.

It also shows what an incredibly skilled job groundworking and paving is - when it's done correctly.

Riney should be commended on the quality of their work.
