Save Fossil Road's historic lampposts


Residents in and around Fossil Road are campaigning to save their historic lamposts which are to be replaced, under the controversial and oft-criticised Skanska contract, by bland modern lampposts. There are few similar examples in our increasingly bland and characterless Lewisham streetscape and one has to feel very sypathetic to the petitioners' goal.  Surely refurbishment to acceptable modern standards, albeit with some costs attached, must be an option?
They have set-up a petition to Sir Steve Bullock.
