I noticed that there were lines painted in the road where the digging is. It looked to me that the pavements were going to be being widened?
Presumably in advance of the road being re-surfaced next month (as per post 15)

The Coombe Valley Road closure, could be awkward for people going there for their Haemo-dialysis, especially for those relying on patient transport, so I've sent them the details for them to pass on.

At least the work is being done before the new road surface goes down, normally roads get dug up a short time after the new surface has been done.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
