In my view, the painted signs - stating the name of the relevant road - on the facades/sides of houses in ED have great character and lend great charm to the area as a whole. Although there are plenty of these signs the vast majority are worn/illegible.


Perhaps this has been discussed before but, personally, I think it would be great for owners/the council to re-paint these where appropriate/permitted. It would preserve the distinctive nature of ED (I do not know of any other areas in London which have retained these signs) and it would permit the removal of some visual pollution (modern signs/signposts).


For those who wish to see what they could like I note that the 'Chesterfield Grove' and 'Melbourne Grove' signs have been re-painted on two of the houses at that junction and they look great.

I agree - think this is a great idea. Maybe James Barber could help in terms of whether this is something the council can do?


I'd also love to know if anyone has the number of someone who can do the painted house numbers outside individual houses. There are a couple of houses on Melbourne Grove with this but I am yet to track down anyone who knows how to do it.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
