Works at A205 Junction with Dartmouth/London Road

We’re not traffic flow experts, but the current temporary traffic light set up and re-routing of cars to the wrong-side of the road feels a bit slip-shod. This morning we saw pedestrians who were crossing to/from Forest Hill Station being caught unawares by traffic suddenly appearing where they didn’t expect it. Hope whatever the problem is is sorted quickly.

I know some businesses lost water yesterday, but I can’t actually see any works going on today - hopefully is fixed and the contraflow will be removed shortly:

I walked past at 9:30 last night, and the Thames Water contractors were finishing up and removing their barriers, so I suspect we are waiting on a different contractor to remove the current temporary traffic light setup (which is causing a bit of chaos).
