The man responsible for this outrageous waste of taxpayer's money was arrogant and quite unqualified Daniel Moylan.
For years Doctor Gordon Taylor, a traffic management expert, warned that this was a costly and dangerous experiment.
Sadly, his advice has now been taken and the 'experiment' is being suspended.
In planning the scheme allowance was made with (possibly ducts under the road) for the installation of a light controlled crossing situated at the entrance to the Science Museum.
This would allow a safe crossing of the road at this point.
This would be helpful for school parties that presently have to dodge through the traffic.
The Council now needs to install the crossing which would in itself have some effect in slowing traffic down.
This mixed use road is utter lunacy, how on earth it ever got the all clear is a total mystery. No doubt conjured up in the inner sanctum of RBKC along with the other rubbish foisted upon residents at huge cost.
ReplyDeleteThe idea was always nuts. Common sense residents said so, academics said so, but Moylan became transfixed by the idea and used his bullying tactics to force it through Council and high jack Council tax to import pink granite from China. To tart up Exhibition Road and put the public at mortal risk.
ReplyDeleteThank heavens we still have the remnants of a democratic system (including the Dame) that is able to get rid of despots and rodents like Moylan.
Real low life person
This was a sad period in the life of the Royal Borough. The Leader and Deputy Leader carried away in a sea of hubris and self promotion. Disgraced Leader Cockell forced through his Statue of Liberty in Holland Park (the new school) and Disgraced Deputy Leader Moylan forced through his vanity project in Exhibition Road. Bot were surrounded by poodles and sycophant Councillors unwilling to say "stop" because they were pathetically waiting and hoping for the handouts of patronage such as Committee positions and allowances.
DeleteA truly disgraceful period in this rotten Tory monopoly of a Borough
The Dame needs to watch these tendencies. Dizzy loves to appear on radio and TV. She usually cocks it up but is improving. Deputy Taylor-Smith (the aging rocker) is more difficult to fathom. Maybe the property spiv that is deeply embedded in him just craves to be accepted and indulged by Dizzy's Sloane Square set. He gets a huge charge from dropping by in the Ferrari for "drinks" with "Wupert" and the other fawns and Cowes hangers on. The other Deputy is totally transparent - he and wifelet need the cash for school fees.
DeleteThis kind of folly is the result of "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". 13 years of rule by the Cockell/Moylan duo, a bullying and social climbing combination, resulted in these monstrosities and untold human damage to employees of the Council.
ReplyDeleteThe Tory Group needs to be mindful of these lessons and make sure that the Campbell/Smith combo do not overstay their time in Office. Five years is quite enough
These vanity projects must never be approved again. Both propagators (Cockell and Moylan) are now wallowing in obscurity
ReplyDeleteExhibitionist Road was surfaced with imported Chinese granite prepared by political prisoners. It cost RBKC residents £140million at much the same time as the Council forced down the cost of refurbishing Grenfell Tower, at the "cost" of 72 lives.
ReplyDeleteAs foretold by Dr Gordon Taylor, it's now just a matter of time before the pavements are replaced and the roadway tarmac-ed over, again at considerable expense to residents. One sincerely hopes that the redoubtable and expert Dr. Taylor is well.
