I saw about four squares with the word ?tree? inside spray painted on the footpath from DH station to the main road. It?s not a very wide pavement (but about 25% wider than, say, the footpaths in residential streets in SE22, eg CP Road) so is this a good idea, given the large footfall generally and peak hour crowds?

I have seen a couple of these 'TREE' markings


I thought it was to indicate that a tree was once there

so that workmen / Work persons repairing pavements would know there were stumps below.


It had not occurred to me it was where New trees were to be planted.


A lot of our streets / roads are very narrow where any new trees would be too close

to houses and over time cause damage to the houses. Also block out light.


Also over time Lift up pavements.


If you like Trees.. Go to the Park. There are 100's of them there.

The person in charge has seen the thread and says the council is committed to planting trees on Champion Hill, and that the grass verges (I think this means the sidings) are not suitable for such planting. I replied, asking them to consider the chance of accidents especially amongst those with disabilities, pointing out the council?s obligation to take any rules or regulations in mind.


I?m all for trees but don?t think these will be in the right place.

    • Hi, Looking for a bedframe with no head or footboard for a double mattress. Normal UK double. Ideally wood. If someone has one to sell or give away please get in touch, thank you!  
    • Great answer, but how do you then square it up with pension pots investments without adversely impacting future growth.  Buit of a tricky one as on one hand it should be nationalised but on the other we don't want to see future pension poverty relying on government top ups.  Far too complicated for a simple answer   
    • Driving down one of the side streets near the park last night we saw a group of kids in front holding a rope across the road. Did feel a little anxious and then when we got closer it turned out to be a harmless trick - nothing in the road/dangerous, just three kids on each side holding long twigs as if they were tugging a rope between them. i'm conflicted - quite a theatrical prank (I presume copied from online) but given the location could well have been the same group mentioned above. 
    • I have no idea, but not so difficult for one of them to stand to the side and record. In an odd way at least if they were doing it for social media it might explain the motivation, albeit misguided. Others may disagree, but that feels less worrying than a desire to intimidate.   I think comparable games like "knock down ginger" where children run away and/or momentarily stick their tongue out as cheeky gesture, have a different vibe to what is described here.
