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. -- Adam |

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? |

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

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. -- Adam |

Now what if the wind blew right to left? -- Adam |
