the existing client being the landlord - Steveo throw away your spade, you are out of your depth - literally and figuratively

Surely a law firm should WANT to take it down once they realise they (perhaps inadvertently - maybe they just asked Londis for permission?) have infringed a law. I don't see what else they could do but take it down themselves, otherwise they've compromised their own integrity.

Excellent idea, but to be useful would have to be kept up to date. I am unclear who exactly has flouted the planning regulations: the owners of the wall who have allowed the sign to be erected on their property, and no doubt charging rent, or the solicitors.

I suggest the Community Council invite a representative of the relevant department to explain to the bewildered public exactly how 'visual harm' is defined, how it is measured, what the threshold of 'sufficiency' is, who and how decided on that threshold, details of any consultation held and, of course, documentary proof that the Council has never enforced against anything objectively measured as being below that threshold.


I'm sure they'd be delighted that we're so interested in their work, and be eager to explain.


And, if not, at least we'll know who they're really working for.

I still can't believe that anyone is. In fact, I can't actually believe this conversation is still going on and we haven't got anything better to do (myself included).... (yawn)

The problem is that this sort of thing sets precedents. If more people decide to put up advertising boards and charge rent for them, they will use this one and say that the council tacitly approved it via inaction.

hello steveo, I did not say I could not afford the advice from GD, it would not matter, they do not represent or work for the tenant, and this wry throw away line of mine has gathered speed. It was an alert as much as anything. Thank you for your reply, the sign will, I suspect, stay.

Yes ! you are quite right Sue, where that came from who knows, thanks for pointing it out, Confused by Idioms!

This is a test case. The thin end of the wedge. The droplet before the deluge.


If we don't come together and make a stand, shitty walls everywhere will be festooned with shiny signs and it is the children - our little ones - who will pay for our indolence.

    • As a slight woman in my mid 60's who's an avid walker I find these reports really upsettting and to be honest they put me off the idea of walking around the area for relaxation and pleasure like I used to. Most disturbing is the report of them threatening to kill someones dog and trying to kick it- I'm streetwise having been born and brought up in Notting Hill long before it was gentrified, and I lived in NYC for awhile in the 80's but there was'nt this senseless nastiness attacking and intimidating people for 'sport' that there seems to be now. Not long ago I had two females on a 185 bus just pushing me and cussing me for no reason whatsover-I confronted them about it and they carried on and started threatening to kill me...I honestly have no idea why. probably Just trying to intimidate me..another passenger advised me to get off because he could see they were jabbing me in the side and pushing me around-I did get off and realised I was actually really shaken up and scared they'd followed me. I dont know why there is so much anger and hatred in the world it saddens me.
