could it be yes it could, somethings coming something good...!

The most amazing, tastefall new lamposts have staring appearing around nunhead, none of this bendy alien bo lacs, they are tall, slim victorian replica's ...wonderful....are we seeing the green shoots of the regeneration program, lets finally hope so !!

[PeckhamRose]

AllForNun it is wonderful to read your positive happy words.

I was working elsewhere today but I look forward to seeing them tomorrow.

Also interesting is number 6 with the scaffolding around it and work going on.

life is so erratic (or should that read Southwark is so...?)

there's a rash of bendy alien bo lacs ones appearing around Choumert Road area

and I mean a RASH... in one patch, were there were 4 lampposts, there are now 8!

Heathrow new runway here we come...

If you mean number 6 next to the Old Man of Kent - then i am afraid that you should prepare for HELL. It is the same idiot builder and owner of the property who did the shop next to the florist and opposite Ayres. That was taken down to reveal a large hideous plastic front window for a house and two hideous plastic front doors either side. Now they have errected a metal fence, yes a metal fence on the pathway and have got away with it.

If anyone from the council is reading this they may want to stop this building work before this IDIOT takes down his green corriated screen to reveal another monstrousity. This is why the shop front is covered so by the time he finishes fucking up another nice shop front on Nunhead Lane it is too late. Between this idiot and the Nunhead Plumbers they have managed to fuck up about 7-8 shops on the Lane. I think the council should find some balls and sort it out.

ref the regeneration of bellenden road.... it was the council who actively 'encouraged' dreadful planning...

ie provided funding/links to hideous signage design/designers/recommending of dire plastic 'Dickensian' style facades etc... so Allfornun, beware the idea of Southwark "finding some balls", stepping in to prevent disasters or having any understanding what looks right and what doesn't!

and LOOK at the lights!!!!

think 'cross park fence aesthetic' - Goose Green

remember stainless steel colour coded "welcome to..." posts which were neither use nor ornamaent (as my Yorkshire friend says

i could go on but.... leave it you to think of all the other ones....

Well I for one think it is a disgrace. Victorian replica lampposts in Nunhead! I?m writing to the council and the MP about this.

[Huggers]

I like the Bellenden Road lights. They look as if they are about to stoop down and eat everyone up.

[vinceayre]

The new lamp posts are way too low, i can see many being smashed by the little oiks that infest the place at night.

I think they're too dominating of the streetscene. Lights should be subtle and do their job, not be all style over content. Nice frock, there, tho.

[AllforNun]

check out the babies around Howbury Road, absolute class. Lets hope the Regeneration Scheme maintains this tasteful and well thought out approach.
