blimey, missed seeing this when I came out this morn
As far as I can see, all they've done is dug up the old paving stones and replaced them. If that's what they think of as improving the street realm, they might as well not have bothered.
Hear hear!
You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. Laying the pavers is heavy work and one of the blokes (Polish?) on the job replied that an average depth of 100mm of sand was going under the new slabs.
Some disruption must happen but the end result is going to be fantastic. This is an example of where the council is getting it right (with help from the GLA).
I particularly welcome the trees that are to go in.
True but every weekend I see young local hipsters sitting at tables, probably illegally placed but very welcome, outside cafes and restaurants in Harringay having breakfast and they don't seem to mind the fumes. It would probably be hypocritical of them to actually given the size of the roll-your-owns a lot of them seem to smoke.
My friend Lucy Lastic and I think its well worth the money to have lots of good looking Eastern European workmen around. Long may it last. Only the other day Lucy said to one of them that he was looking very hot and would he like a rub down with and oily rag. He politely declined as he put her back in her wheelchair after she reached over the barrier and toppled out. I told her they weren't safe but she wouldn't listen. (The barriers, not the workmen) She said she hadn't been so shaken since her scarf got got caught in her wheels at a fancy dress party. I told her going as Isadora Duncan wasn't a good idea but she wouldn't listen
Hoorah! More of you on HoL please Poppy! : )
I see my dear friend Poppy Tupper has been sharing my embarrassing moments. I shall be having a word with her when she gets back from Bow Street, If they let her out. Something to do with a street corner, a lamp post and a polish construction worker in a hi-vis jacket named Piotr (the polish man not the jacket) she claimed she just asked if he rolled his own if not she'd roll it for him.
There was a small pond there this morning
Maybe it's been left for tree planting? Something will be going in there, no doubt.
