Happy bloody Christmas. Brixton 'decorations' 2006-2008

The lights around the Ritzy are nice, but there's no Winterval Tree in the Peace Gardens

Maybe Lambeth don't know what a Winterval tree looks like? :hmm:

Personally, I'd be much happier if they spent a few thousand less on the fireworks and put the money towards Christmas decorations. Fireworks are only for less than 1/2 hour once a year. Decorations are up for longer
 
Brixton Road is hardly festive though, is it? And Electric Avenue is just plain dull.

I think the blue triangles were a job lot as they're in Stockwell too.

I think Brixton's lights are being hived off to other parts of the borough.

Wandsworth Road station now has two sets on lamposts outside the station, which they have never had before.

Totally agree. For half the money spent on fireworks, Brixton could look fantastic for Christmas.
 
I understand that the paucity of Winterval lights on Brixton Road is partly down to TfL not being able to confirm to Lambeth when they would be digging up the old lamp columns. As this depends on the notoriously unreliable monopolistes of EdF confirming when their leccies will be on site to switch power to the new columns, for once I have a teeny bit of sympathy.

I figured that was the case as I saw them working on a lamp-post outside the tube the other day, but isn't that just on the High Road?

and when the fuck are we going to get our bus stop back? :mad:
 
If they're "winterval" lights, then that's why they're crap.

Christmas lights would be much better.

It is all part of the Government's nanny state anti-obesity strategy. :mad:

They know that sensible Brixton Hillites despair at the thought of trying to board a bus amid the chaos of people trying to get to Norwood and Streatham from a single hudddle in Effra Road and walk up the Hill instead.
