From a quick read - it seems to be an "austerity" option - painting SLOW on the tarmac in a few places and putting visors on some lights. Although I would welcome the board's on the downhill stratch of Harden Rise - as that is always fun to cycle down whilst east bound cars from the A205 try to cross the lanes

If that's true that's really upsetting. We should be doing more to encouraging businesses to exist past 6pm in WN and TH not less. Incl. 24hr services on the Thameslink.

It is indeed true. They've stopped the live music for now, installed double glazing on the big pub windows and made the outdoor area by the side of the pub for smokers only.

The Effra Social had the same thing earlier this year. ONE neighbour moved in and relentlessly complained the noise to the point where the bar started to worry about its future. For several months the music had to be so quiet that people keep asking me to turn it up. All the bass bins were unplugged (and remain so) and the company spent a fortune on soundproofing.

Yeah it's very basic. Just the bit between the two triangle islands on Hardel Rise. Some wider pavements and some bollards. Won't stop the drag racing up Christchurch, and does nothing for the co-op corner.
