I recently came across a document ‘High Street 2012’, published by tower hamlet counsel, outlining there intended regeneration of the street that runs along the end of my road. (www.highstreet2012.com/HighStreet2012.pdf)
I had to laugh when I read that one of the objectives is to ‘De-clutter the street by removing unused signage, railings ans street furniture.’ Any body having visited our area over the last nine months or so will appreciate the irony of this. Locals and drivers have lived with the systematic deconstruction of the surrounding roads and the inconvenience that this has entailed.
Although no doubt the developments in the long term will benefit the community that survives the improvement’s, I wanted to make a piece of work that will sit in amongst the visual chaos and give a tongue in cheek nod to those that have lived through the inconvenience that has ensued.
