Well the ground workers that ran it over did.

Straightened it up with a tow rope and added a splint.

Council turned up today and removed it.

Does it say "no parking here" ?. I can't read those signs.

A Grand Designs program filmed in Edinburgh over 10 years
ago, showed the self-build couple move the street lamp outside
their property about 2 or 3 metres so it wouldn't interfere
with a window?

But the use of cable ties points the finger of blame at
Adam. Council might send him the bill.!!!

I moved a street name sign so we could widen our drive. Church street is
about 2m longer than it should be.

And we will never know. The council removed the fuse and used an angle
grinder to cut it down to about 1m height.

And yes they put up a road closed sign and a sign that overhead works
were taking place before wrapping what was left in black and yellow tape.

Is it though?

You can see how the bottom of the lamp post has split.

But pulling it back upright weakened the other side of the post. Now
what if the wind blew right to left?
