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.

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.

Me too.

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.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
