Back in 2021 I blogged about some road workings that had installed plastic kerb stones and noticed the kerb on this busy corner had already suffered some minor damage. I speculated at the time about how long they'd last and whether or not they might be a false economy (see picture on the left). Well, 18 months later (picture on the right) and it looks like there's been quite a bit of damage, the plastic seems to have been completely smashed in four or five places and is looking a bit sorry for itself.
I wonder how much longer it'll be before the road has to be closed for a week so that these smashed kerb stones can be replaced (hopefully by more robust ones!), then again, knowing our council the patch of grass behind the kerb is probably ear-marked for a new housing estate and they're planning to trash the whole area, we shall see..
