Labour Councillors have written to Mayor Boris Johnson urging him to ensure that the road works on the A2 are completed on time.
 
This is after they informed by Transport for London (TfL) that it could take longer than the eight weeks local residents were originally told they would take to complete.
 
Since the roadworks began, Labour councillors have demanded that TfL improves traffic management to reduce congestion, and introduce longer working hours to minimise disruption to residents.   
 
West Greenwich Labour Councillor David Grant said: "Work should take place every day between 6am and 10pm but we have observed that this is not the case.

"We have therefore written to the Mayor, who is also Chair of Transport for London who maintain the road, urging him to do everything possible to ensure the work is completed within eight weeks. We've also reiterated that the work must take place throughout each and every day."
 
The A2 roadworks had been due to take place between August and September 2008, which would
have caused much less disruption because of the school holidays.

But after Boris Johnson became Mayor they were postponed for six months.
 
We will continue to keep a close eye on the works and update you on this site.
