Paint spillage on Goodrich Road

[ollya]

Hi!

Has anyone else seen his huge white pain spill outside house 35/37 on Goodrich road?

I stepped into in this morning whilst wearing my Birkenstocks. I knocked on both doors but no one answered. I would really want to know who I can contact as my shoes are kind of ruined....

Thank heaven's it wasn't your Jimmy Choo's!!

Did you not notice that you were stepping into paint? If it is a 'huge white paint spill' as you described, surely it was a bit obvious?

[KidKruger]

Innit tho !

This could run and run ...

I would be devastated if my beloved Birkies got covered in paint :(

No, I obviously did not see it, otherwise, why would I bother to write about it?

I just thought that Dulwich community is more respectful of others and would clean their shit instead of cussing out people who accidentally stepped into it. If someone steps into it and slips it could cause an injury. I was warning people and starting a discussion so someone can claim their paint and clean it up.

The responses to this are jaw dropping. Since when do residents and contractors have the right to break and soil the public right of way. Paint not on a designated surface is a hazard.

No one has the right to force me to watch out for your dogs shit or paint on my shoes or buggy wheels or car tyres for that matter. I don't want an ugly shared space. Litter glass refuse of any sort that makes us poor. Yes, poor isn't money it's a state of mind. Everyone responding to this point. My neighbours it seems.

I haven't seen anyone 'cussing out' the OP. Yes, it's not pleasant when things get spilled or dog crap in public areas, but I'm at a bit of a loss to understand why anyone would seem to think that someone else would have liability for damage to their shoes if they didn't notice a huge white paint spill and trod in it!

Surely it's just common decency if you spill paint in a public place to clear it up?
