Really love all the work that has been done on the retaining walls in the surrounding areas however I wonder if they now have a little too much left over. The council have raised the wall height at the entrance to Hogarth and put some coping stones on top. All well and good - if they sandblast the existing wall to match it will look quite nice. However they have now added a really ugly metal fence on top. Now is this to stop people going down the slope and jumping onto the road - something I have never witnessed in all my twenty-five years plus of living in the area? At the risk of sounding like a Daily Mail reader is this health and safety gone mad!

I'm so glad it's not just me thinking this.....
When was the last time we saw anyone on that bit - oh.... that would be never then....
Wall looks great, railings look stupid.. IMHO

I remember around the early 90's a man cutting the grass going right over the edge and landing in the cab of an HGV - had been round our house at the time if I remember correctly - will check with the old lady tonight.
I do however think they are probably there as a health and safety gone mad measure. Wonder how long before a transit pick up pulls up and steals them to 'weigh in'.
