Off Topic Council vandalism?

Your headline sums it up perfectly - it's vandalism, no more, no less.

 

Allam recently managed to make the council look half-decent.... they just love to remind us that they're totally inept and completely out of the depth in running a city. Clueless.

It's a disgrace - I hope they're made to put it back to how it should look.

 

I never knew the Council installed gas meters.

 

Gas meters are property of British Gas or whoever puts them in.

 

Or the developer does.

Imagine if they'd knocked this back until a better solution was found. What's the betting the claim would be that the council are holding up development again.

They are out of place, but the mud needs to be aimed accurately. I'll reserve judgement until I've read something more substantial than a hdm article.

 

Nothing to stop concerned private individuals putting a case forward to the court.

 

I took that exact same picture as your second one OLM when i was back in Hull last year. And i took it because i hadn't realised just what it looked like in the times i had wandered down there through the years. Admittedly i was slightly worse for wear on the previous occasions, but the picture has pride of place on my phone screen, as well as getting turned into a print for our wall. Its such a shame when companies install, in the words of Chuck Windsor, a Monstrous Carbuncle on the walls like that. Hulls heritage needs protecting not ruining.

Also Gothenburg ' coffee club ' whore house / drinking den come flooding back

 

You do like to make bold opinions and state them as fact.

You get so much wrong when you do that, I'll wait until I've looked at something more credible than you and the HDM.

 

OLM. Living down south don't get to the old town often so can I take it that the two photos are taken from different ends of the tunnel, the photographer taking advantage of better lighting in photo 3. Also what is the black cabinet opposite the gas boxes? Telephony?
As it's a listed building wonder if they require listed building consent and Planning Policy Guidance No.15 states at para 3.37 ".......
Local planning authorities are normally required to make their own applications to the Secretary of
State, whether or not they themselves own the listed building in question. The Secretaries of State ask
authorities to deal with their own buildings in ways which will provide examples of good practice to other
owners........."

 

Did any councillor have anything to do with the decision?

 

Well that's ****ing stupid.

Sadly, it is also no surprise either.

 

Hmmm i suppose the inventive artist can use the gas blocks as scrabble Tiles to spell out a message to the council (those that provide permission for such acts of thoughtless vandalism)

 

Bollocks. If you don't want a reply, don't post sweeping generalisations when you lack any detail.

 

You for ****ing real or what? They had no planning permission and it's been done knowing damn well they will apply through a previsional accepted decision. Haven't you read it? Nob ed
