From 2006 to 2010, I was a councillor for Lee Green ward in the London Borough of Lewisham. During that time, I blogged regularly and in 2009 I won the Tim Garden Award for the Best Blog by a Liberal Democrat Holding Public Office. My blog posts from my term of office are archived here in case they prove of use to former constituents, or to those who share my annoyance with faulty street furniture
Virgin Media have been in touch, and they have taken action on my concerns about junction boxes in Lee Green.
- This box on Kellerton Road has now been closed and locked.
- This box on Dorville Road has been temporarily secured, pending the fitting of a new door.
- This box on Lee High Road has now been closed and locked.
And finally, the box on Staplehurst Road at the junction with Leahurst Road (outside the DIY shop) has been locked, but will need replacing altogether as it’s been hit by a car.
Virgin Media have helpfully provided a phone number we can report cabinets to directly, and they’re happy for me to publish that here. It’s 0870 888 3116.
I’ll be calling to report the damaged box on the right, which is on Eastdown Park. If you know of a box do let Virgin Media know – or failing that, let me know and I’ll take it up.
Interesting post here on why it appears that this is about more than just how ugly the broken and open boxes are.
