James, I have contacted the council about the sign precariously secured over the sidewalk above the Indian restaurant near to William Rose Butcher. See photos attached. This is a hazard given the state of the crumbling concrete and way the sign is secured.

Any suggestions on how this can be addressed?

I was sitting across the road when this was being put up - looked incredibly dodgy....well done for acting...had completletly forgotten about it....the people putting it up didn't look very sure what they were doing and it stretches across a busy pathway...really needs inspection....I think it's for Swadesh...James who do you contact about this sort of thing?

Apparently botched installations like this need to be taken seriously by business owners, installers and local authorities as they can lead to tragedy. That sign doesn't look as though it would take a very high gust of wind or much of a knock to bring it down, and it's only a couple of years since a betting shop sign fell and killed a young man on Camden Road, NW1.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
