These pictures show how Walthamstow has blocked off roads in the Borough.
They do remind me very much of the sort of designs you see in the windows of undertakers.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

Well, Waltham Forest Council want to see the death of private cars……..

Well it looks much more permanent and better than the barriers many other boroughs have used and so are more likely to remain longer term. I do wonder if the centre post with a cycle can be lowered if an emergency vehicle needs access as that’s one of the main complaints in other boroughs.

Spot on!
It’s all very well have planted areas of this kind – they look very nice when new. But British local authorities are notorious in starting things they can’t finish. In Paris, for example, they would be elegant AND well maintained for the forseeable future, but here you KNOW the plants that aren’t stolen and sold down Walthamstow Market will just be left to die without any care or attention. That’s already happened to some traffic-calming planting in Balham.
