Pretty much everyone has a secret crush on Dyer.

Noticed that the shitty graffiti lampshades in MacDs have the tag BS very prominent in the window. How appropriate.

Anyone know why the pavement infront of the police station is being dug up? Are they changing the access or just re-paving?

Yes, I wondered the same the other day. Maybe they're installing some stocks...it's bang on trend now.

Apparently the graffiti design - in use across Europe - was chosen by McD customers!
I find the mismatched interior caulking (black on grey) much more offensive.

I for one would hate to sit in this proposed square, looking down to what was once one of my favourite night time destinations. Balls to your Canterbury Square Lambeth.

Hardly getting over it.
Probably putting in tank-traps.

They are installing a viewing point for the river Effra as part of a public realm project noted here last year.

I went to a presentation about this last year. Maybe the people presenting were getting carried away/over romantic.
Still there is a precedent for a manhole cover being a tourist attraction - the so-called "Mouth of Truth" in Rome.

Great. Yet more of those fucking chairs, the single ones placed at weird angles to each other. They are everywhere, are the opposite of a proper bench and I really don't like them.

I like a single chair. Sitting next to other people is over rated.

Ye but they are never placed singly, they're arranged in groups of two or three, very close together, and facing each other at fake casual angles. Much easier to ignore someone whose sitting at the other end of your bench than in this sort of convivial scenario i reckon. The problem with a proper bench though, obvioulsy, is that people can lie down on them and have a rest, which is antisocial behaviour.

You're right, there's lots of low stone walls coming too, to sit on.
Do the illustration show either way whether the tree will be staying - the one which used to look like this, commemorating deaths in custody, but is now bare ? I think it's still there in the pictures, sharing the space with the new artwork, which looks like a metal doughnut.

I wouldn't really wanna try and relax outside Brixton nick while breathing in the fume of buses and cars as they snarl up at that junction.....next to a tree covered in pictures of people who have been beaten to death by plod.
It does seem a strange place....

It's nice that they have added a roulette table though. Street gambling is predicted to be all the hipster rage come 2017....

Oh well, let's not support attempts to make some improvements to public space in Brixton. I'm sure folk can think up some more objections to this disgraceful scheme so that these plans to replace valuable car parking space with a bit of greenery and and somewhere for people to sit down can be stopped in their tracks.

If it is listed does someone become responsible for its upkeep?
