Residents of Ethelburt Avenue will have noticed that the posts carrying the street nameplates have miraculously shortened. On Monday 5th October, the nameplates were cut down by contractors working for the City Council with a view to replacing them with ones in the new style of those on the public roads. Prompt action by Kaye Drake and Bob Currie prevented our nameplates being taken away for scrap and within the day the contractors had reinstalled them on what was left of the original posts. We are seeking compensation from the Council for this mistake so that they can be returned to the status quo ante.
