Try reporting it as a fault to http://streetfaults.tfl.gov.uk/

Thanks!

No-one bother me for a while, I have a few hundred street faults to
report.

6 weeks later, I have to wonder why I bothered, because 5 of the 8
faults I reported have definitely not been fixed, and I'm not sure
whether the other 3 have been fixed or not.

Maybe they're waiting for you to get through the rest of the few hundred?

Presumably this website is another of Blair's initiatives - always look
like you're doing something, but never actually do anything.

Yes, John, i'm sure Tony Blair himself personally masterminded the TfL
street faults website. Where on earth do you get this extraordinary idea
that emitting platitudes while doing nothing is a Blair invention? Is this
is not what every single human government *ever*, all the way back to the
Jericho town council, has done?

No. Most governments do nothing because this is cheapest, and people only
remember what government does for a short time, but they remember what
government costs for a long time. Therefore doing nothing is the best way to
get re-elected. But Blair, unlike previous leaders, actively wants to
destroy Britain, and has a revulsion for doing anything constructive, even
if it could be done for free.

You may possibly believe that his policies will have the effect of
destroying Britain, but "*wants* to destroy Britain"?? What do you base
that on?
