I drove past this last night and noticed that it looked like it was being dug up, and possibly replaced. I know it was on the 2007 wishlist for ED (other thread), anyone know anything further....they may be up to something else, but fingers crossed it is being changed, however tad concerned to what....
I can confirm that there are now some reflective barriers surrounding a small pile of dirt (similar to a big molehill) next to the Dirty Old Lampost on Goose Green Roundabout. Some would say that's not a bad days work for a gang of council workers. Or a big mole.
This "dirty old lamp post" has been on goose green roundabout since 1887, and should be considered a part of our local history. I've seen pictures of it on various websites, and I believe it should be fully restored rather than replaced by some modern art version of a lamp post.

Very good EDKiwi.....Shows how efficent local coucil contracters are, 5 weeks to dig something up ;-)....anyhow any ideas on what is going to go there.....hopefully not another council "yes i think thats want they would want" sign. Sadly i think a good bet is that they would do anything and leave it empty.....hopefully someone can prove me wrong!

    • A friend of mine was into "skill swap" about 40 years ago. It wasn't within an organised scheme, she just offered services like help with painting in exchange for services received. She upset some people as they carried out their services for a living, I.e. for money. An organised scheme sounds much better.
    • Gosh, that is a blast from the past.  Friends in York were into this, he was an accountant and had things like decorating done in exchange.  Not sure if it was equivalent in terms of hours, and I recall HMRC being interested as it was a way of tax avoidance.   A link for a London wide scheme but have no idea of its popularity: https://www.londonwide.letslink.org/members/index.php  
    • Is anyone else having problems trying to register their car for a residents LTN permit for upland road as the council web site only seems to want to allow blue badge holders a permit .
    • Posted around 12 cards 2 weeks prior to 24th December. Had some responses so know people have received them. Had about 20 cards - mixture of hand delivered and via post. After years of 'nagging' by myself and our daughters, we may have cured hubby of spending £4 plus on individual cards for our immediate family  ( when you have 12 immediate family it costs a bomb) Also as the girls state, they get put in the recycling bad at beginning of January regardless of cost.
