Good news – Carver Road j/w Half Moon Lane reopens.
Here is the message from our ward councillors to local residents (From Cllrs Toby Eckersley and Michael Mitchell):
“We attended yesterday one of the regular evening meeting organised by the council and Thames Water, following the flooding in Herne Hill resulting from the bursting of the 36-inch main in the early hours of Wednesday 7 August, near the Stradella Rd junction. As most will know, the brunt of this incident has been borne by the shops in Half Moon Lane and the residents above them. We are in the main satisfied that the council and Thames Water are giving appropriate help to them.
This message advises on points of relevance to a wider range of residents:
(1) We were advised at the meeting that Half Moon Lane should fully re-open by Monday 26 August.
(2) To encourage the resumption of trading, efforts will be made to re-open sooner part of the road from the main junction up to Stradella Rd. The footways are already open on both sides of this stretch. We hope that those who normally use the Half Moon Lane shops will continue to visit and be alert to the re-opening of the shops – at least two are already trading again and the pharmacy is open for dispensing.
(3) Parking restrictions have been temporarily suspended in Stradella Rd, Winterbrook Rd, Carver Rd and Half Moon Lane up to Burbage Rd. It is expected that the parking situation will revert to normal once Half Moon Lane is re-opened, so car drivers not resident in the CPZ should exercise care if intending to park between noon and 2pm.
(4) The 37 bus is diverting via Herne Hill and Red Post Hill.”
