EastSheenMatters reported on Wednesday about the road works at the junction of Sheen Lane and the Upper Richmond Road. Today the hole is much bigger and deeper. It was noted that the signage around the works did not state an end date. It still does not. There are no warnings about the work on the Transport for London website nor on the Richmond Council website.

BUT there were workers from Ferns on the site who were helpful in responding to questions.

So wait for it, they think the work will take another three weeks. They are relaying pipes on the pavement.

Why? The workers say they are instructed to move the pavement back about a metre, to enable an increased turning circle (outside James Anderson), so that a bus can turn right from Sheen Lane.

A new bus route turning on that junction? Has ESM missed something?
