Fallen tree on Lawrie Park Road

Post by biscuitman1978 »

I was walking down Lawrie Park just a few minutes after the tree fell.

I made the police aware on 101 (the non-emergency number) and they advised that they would send some officers and alert the local council (though just to complicate things the tree fell close to the border of Lewisham and Bromley!).

I may be wrong, but I think that buses were already diverted away from Lawrie Park Road because of roadworks on Westwood Hill/Kirkdale/Sydenham Road. Certainly all the bus stops have 'bus stop closed' hoods on them. Quite a fortunate coincidence!

They were :) See https://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic ... ead#unread

Have all the diversions cleared yet? The LP Road bus stop was still out of action when I went to Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
