Good morning Catmoves & Doug
The photo is of a fine example of British design!
A team of designers (I use the term loosely) was employed to upgrade Upper Ground and transform it into an iconic thoroughfare, (these days everything has to be iconic). They designed stainless steel “street furniture”. For the first month after installing the litter bins, thay couldn’t empty them because they had forgotten to order keys! They no longer have that problem because vandals have ripped off the doors.
They also installed stainless steel bollards along the side of the pavements (sidewalks). These have been a tremendous success with lorry drivers who use them as skittles to be knocked over.
The trouble with designs are - they look great on the drawing board, (or now CAD), but in practice - disaster. - 23 July 2007 at 10:18
