Streetscape improvements

There's a dip in the kerb in between the pillars nearest the road so I think they mark out vehicular access to the bank/town hall?? They do look a bit silly though.

Dogs will appreciate them though.

I've now merged this thread with the existing one on streetscape improvements.

If you look back at the drawings, you will see that the bollards are of granite construction and it looks like there should be 8 in total:

There have been some complaints about the quality of the work. In particular, there seems to be a drainage problem. This photo shows a puddle in a dip in the paving outside the travel agents.

I'm afraid I never waded through all the posts re the trees.But it took approximately 6 very long months to repave the mess that was there only for it to be dug up to plant the trees.Now,I may be missing something here but why was the present tree work not done when the paving was originally being re-laid.If there is no good reason why this is the case,has the person in charge of planning been sacked/demoted/billed for all the unneccessary expense to you and I as Council Tax payers?.I somehow do not think that will be the case.And whilst I am on the 'rant',when the first hollows/loose slabs start to appear in the newly paved area [which I fully expect to happen] will it be like the roads where it seems nobody is penalised or responsible for fixing the shoddy work, whether council or contractor?.And to finish off,the pavements further up towards Blades bike shop are appalling,like so much of our roads.As a cyclist I can only agree with the Norwegian touring cyclist who classed our roads as almost 3rd World like!!.
