Just a bit of fun, hope that’s OK.
Wondered if people cared to place their bets on where and when the next disruptive lane or road closing roadworks will happen, courtesy of TW.
London Rd, Waldram Road or Stansted Rd?
I’m gonna say London Rd within 6 weeks.
We need a map to play “pin the leak on the road network “
I’ll look into it 
Oh imagine creating a map of roadworks to record the as they occur, and guess the next spot too. That would be amazing.
Just outside FH, Thames Water are digging up the same bit of Lordship Lane outside Streamline Mews for the 1,000,000 time.
Seriously! Not sure why I am surprised. It’s incredible how many times the same location can be dug up.
I could cheat … but I won’t
In fact, there’s a website that actually will give us this information. The next Thames Water works in Forest Hill will be …
…
on Devonshire Road (AGAIN).
(you can check this out on https://one.network/ and then switch from ‘TODAY’ to ‘Next Two Weeks’ to see upcoming plans). Sadly I can’t research how many times a location has been worked on without an (expensive) subscription, but the main search is free.
Oooh that’s handy. Is it just me or would you rather a year or so of disruption in the area to get it done once and for all. Tooting is having that done. It’s a pain but it’s done.
Thames Water spent a year installing new pipes in Duiwich in Lordship Lane from Barry Road to just before Overhill Road along with replacing pipes in Etherow Strret and Friern Road, yet recently there was a burst watermain in the same place outside The Plough pub at the junction of Barry Road.
Oh well then I take it all back. It seems workmanship these days is just poor!
This is, allegedly, what is happening on Honor Oak Park now.
We have lost water supply on our road multiple times this year. After the most recent one a couple of weeks ago, Thames Water did an emergency repair at 10pm but have left the hole open - obviously expecting it to fail again!
