Bollards

The bollards that sprouted at one end of the street are apparently naughty bollards. You see, they were put in by the same firm that got rid of the fly tipping, which I think was employed by someone who owns the left hand side of the street(no houses just that part of the road surface) looking west who is based in the Isle of Man. I did google the address and an awful lot of companies, solicitors and accountants seem to be packed into what appears to be quite a small building.

Anyway the nice man next door was out tinkering when someone from The Council turned up and it seems that not only was there no permission sought but The Council were not even informed. Thus they are naughty bollards and Something Needs To Be Done.

These dratted bollards seem to bring out the Victor Meldrew in the loveliest of people and I really wish that they hadn't gone up. However it does look like they will be coming down, though what effect it will have on an already poor road surface I do not know. There is more pothole than road already. And after that I wonder what the next move will be. A nice gentleman from next door but one burnt some rubbish where there had been flytipping, and so I am sure that there will be arm waving and finger pointing about a supervised bit of bonfire. The freelance, non-authorised 'No Flytipping' signs have already had to come down. Actually the signs were up for about a week but a month later the posts are, for some reason, still in place.

I expect there will be letters being sent to The Council and possibly The Papers - if the people involved can write. That, regrettably, is not a given.
