Forest Hill Road Mural

[Nicholas]

After the council spent so much time, money and effort on the mural and matching bins on Forest Hill Road, i'm angry that someone is using it as their own personal dumping ground. Most of us are very happy and proud of the improvement to our area, lets face it, the old sub-station was a bit of an eye sore. I just think its a real shame that some inconsiderate people are making it an eye sore again.

Hi Nicolas,

thanks for raising this,

I will contact council officers and report it.

Hi Nicolas,

I have also raised the non-matching bins with the Cleaner Greener Safer team.

Here it is at its best. I took this last month some time.

Shame that electricity sub station can;t be placed under ground.

It original dimensions would have been required to support electric switch gear. Such switch gear is now a fractino of the size and burying it would be quite feasible.

We'd then have a mini public square.

Reminds me of Kit Williams' 'Masquerade'. Quite like it.

I am trying to find where the extra (non-matching ) bins have come from.

I love it! Well done Southwark Council for having the vision to do this. But what has happened to the bollards further up the hill? They are looking fantastic too but they are still only half painted. I think this may have been a guerilla artist and not the council, but I am wondering why they have not been finished?? Anyone know??

I have viewed the bollards whilst stuck at the lights Dunstans Rd Forest Hill Rd junction..

It would seem to me that a a few people must of decended at night for a quick spray for a bit of a laugh.

They have not been carefully painted. Just a prank. No real harm done. but would be better if more colour

co-ordinated of themed.

Not a Banksy but a Pranksy

The Whitechapel Gallery has an exhibition on mural opening soon, you should send in the pic. The Goose Green Blake inspired one (I assume that is what it is) features on their opening webpage. Looks great.

Oh thanks for that! I might go to that. Love the Whitechapel. Saves walking round london actually having to see them all in situ (!)
