See this pole outside my little house in Mill Street? In the last four days it’s been adorned with this garish yellow sign.
I’ve asked counciller Susanna Pressel – she’s a Labour councillor for both Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council – if perhaps the rusty pole couldn’t be painted or replaced.
She answered that there isn’t enough money to paint the pole. I’d paint it myself, but bugger that for a game of soldiers, I’d probably get prosecuted for vandalism or something.
I don’t drive. The pole is there to warn people that they’ll get nicked if they don’t have a valid permit to park. Paint it! It’s a site for sore eyes, an eyesore. ♥
