I know a fair few on here use it.

I was speaking with the chair of the transport committee for Wandsworth. Thames Water has now accepted responsibility, but still no cluie as to how to fix the long terms problem.

Temporary repairs have started, with more substantial (though not decent) improvements due before the olympic test race.

    Haven't used it recently till yesterday. Was carnage!

    It's crazy that they can get away with a road like that.

    Close the bridge temporarily and let the repairs or new road surface settle? They've closed Albert Bridge for other repairs.
    FCN 2-4.

    Looks like they have gone a bit further than just filled the wholes in, and resurfaced the entire bus lane.

    yep, they'd closed two lanes last night when I came home 9:30ish and were pretty busy getting on with the resurfacing.

    I am betting zero effort would have been made to sweep up all the gravel at the LRR junction.
