York city council are playing the blame game again... this time dogs are being blamed for peeing against lamp posts and causing them to corrode.
http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/5063177 ... lampposts/personally, I think they're taking the pi**, because all new columns are galvanised and then painted too, which will then not corrode. It's only the old columns that are deteriorating, and those are past their service life anyway (The S&L ones are probably from the 1960's or earlier, and the Revo Monarchs are from the 30's or 40's). This is just general expiration of well-used columns, and should really be expected.
PS, in the picture, that green fence is the border of the new site, with the access road being on the other side of it.... just for those who want to know!
