Hope not. Would end up like Wightman with cars and bins blocking the pavement.

I saw a couple of guys this morning (but on Burgoyne), they looked more like they were preparing the tear the footpath up below the New River (marking out cables underground?!).
Did you ask if they were putting cycle lanes in, or is this an educated guess? If they are I have to say that I have seen nothing about it anywhere, and I (as a cyclist) would question the value and whether this is the best use of resources. Perhaps they are marking the cycle lane out so it runs contra to the flow of traffic (??) do you know?

I just looked the company up, remembered they had Select Surveys on their jackets. I think they must be marking out underground cabling or piping (I hope!).

Gotcha. We should watch for the spray painted markings they often mark the street up with and see what they are up to...

They work for Optimise:
Optimise is a joint venture between J Murphy and Sons, Barhale Construction plc, Clancy Docwra Ltd and MWH. It has been awarded the prestigious AMP5 contracts by Thames Water valued at potentially £500million over the 5 year contract period.
The Optimise Joint Venture has been awarded the contracts to undertake capital works on the network infrastructure for both clean and waste water, covering the Thames Valley and North London regions. The scope of works will include continuing to replace London's worn-out Victorian water mains, upgrading sewers to protect customers' homes from sewer flooding and installing asset monitoring equipment (SCADA).
The contract runs from the start of the new five-year regulatory period, (AMP5) April 2010 to March 2015, during which time Thames Water will invest nearly £5 billion across London and the Thames Valley.
Optimise is responsible for whole lifecycle programme management and the provision of design and build solutions to Thames Water. This is a considerable scope of work which requires close working liaison with a number of Agencies, Authorities, Regulatory bodies and the general public for successful delivery. The contracts represent a major undertaking and possibly one of the largest and most varied water infrastructure programmes to be carried out in the UK.
