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.

    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
