Beautiful new pavements in South Ealing, beautiful new street benches. You would think all the local businesses woulf be pleased. Well, not Barclays Bank whose store sign contractor Butterfield Signs decided to mount the brand new pavement that had been there for less than a week in a heavy white van (H19 BSL) at 20:20 last night abd spend a few hours putting up new signage on the front of the ban. Blockng the pavement to pedestrians and oblivious to the fact that it just this driving and mounting the pavement with large trucks is what cumulatively destroys them and makes them dangerous to pedestrians over time. The irony behind this is that there is large private car park serving Barclays Bank and the other shops in the parade behind them with an access road off Airedale Road. What is more the side roads are all free parking at that hour. (Editor: I have e-mailed you some photos of this piece of civic duty and care for others to you. Could you insert them in this post please? I can't seem to paste them in. Regards, Erin). |
