Why don't they care?
Lewisham Council are building new cycle paths on Hillyfields Park. Last saturday I had to move out of the way of a large lorry delivering construction materials. Instead of taking the obvious route, via the gated entrance near the tennis courts, the contractors (Conway) drove along the footpath from the corner of Tressillian Road and Hillyfields Crescent. It was a large lorry and those paths are not designed for such heavy loads. There must have been more damage to the substructure.
Some person in Lewisham Council must have been responsible for arranging this contractor's work. Why didn't they properly supervise the deliveries? A lot of kids were on the park at the time playing football and could have been at risk had they been close to the deliveries. The lorry twice made reverse turns unguided close to the tennis courts.
