Tesco lorry just damaged signs and traffic signals in PHS and didn't stop

I just witnessed a huge Tesco lorry make a U-turn in PHS at the junction with Lacy Road (he was in the southbound lane).  When he made the turn, the back of the lorry collided with a traffic signal and directional signs, the traffic signal is now pointing east toward the building and the signs are on the pavement.. the lorry driver just drove off northbound and never even hesitated to inspect the damage.I've looked on the council website, but can't find anywhere to report this..  can anyone advise who I should report to?  I didn't see the number plate, but hopefully the CCTV caught it.

Yes, the council website isn't all that helpful for reporting problems like this - which you should certainly do.I think this may be the best place to go:https://wandsworth-self.achieveservice.com/AchieveForms/?mode=fill&consentMessage=yes&form_uri=sandbox-publish://AF-Process-fd7dea77-e9b0-47a4-af22-87de822a1d4b/AF-Stage-4e6d7516-71bd-4be0-a64b-7a5f6de3a7b1/definition.json&process=1&process_uri=sandbox-processes://AF-Process-fd7dea77-e9b0-47a4-af22-87de822a1d4b&process_id=AF-Process-fd7dea77-e9b0-47a4-af22-87de822a1d4b&Problem=Traffic%20signs

Mary, if you PM me the details, I can get them passed on to Tesco so they can deal with this themselves.

Richard Carter ● 2277d

don't know how to PM you on the site Richard..

I've just submitted the detailed report to the link you sent Richard.. hopefully it doesn't go into a black hole and someone deals with it.

Mary McCue ● 2276d

Barbara, 101 is the police.. don't think they need to be bothered with something after the fact.. the council should deal with it.

Richard, this is what I reported on the council link you sent..if you have a means to do so, feel free to forward to Tesco.Additional information: At about 9:48 pm on 16 August, I witnessed a huge Tesco lorry make a U-turn in PHS at the junction with Lacy Road (he was in the southbound lane). When he made the turn, the back of the lorry collided with a traffic signal and directional signs, the traffic signal is now pointing east toward the building and the signs are on the pavement.. the lorry driver just drove off northbound and never even hesitated to inspect the damage.Location of problem: Putney High Street at the junction with Lacy Road

Don't be so rude Mary it's a criminal offence, for all you know he might have pinched the lorry. It's driving away from the seen of a crime. He's still caused damage, if somebody filled up with diesel and drove off without paying, that's a crime. You asked on here for help I gave you my opinion.

Thank you, Mary, I will.

BTW, you can send a PM by clicking on the name of a poster in the actual post, whereupon a window comes up with a message space. Having said that, it hasn't worked for me recently!

Richard Carter ● 2275d

Don't forget that you must put something in the subject line or it definitely doesn't work.  Sometimes people put a message here to say that they have messaged someone just so that they can look out for it.

I think the PM facility is only available on the old interface.

Wow.  And I gave you mine, Barbara. Didn't realise it came off sounding rude.
