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!

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
