PP still remains a fabulous place to enjoy the summer both on your own or with friends. We have returned however for our second stint this year and as I suspected the cracks in the concrete are deoteriorating . In addition the slabs are settling and ridges are becoming more pronounced. This might be acceptable after 20 years but they haven't even seen one winter yet !! I've updated my Flickr photos for those interested at

Hopefully the council will take note.
 
If this thread becomes a repeat of an earlier thread on this subject i will remove it.

I ask that members who have already voiced their opinions many times will sit back and allow others to post their feelings, thank you.
 
Why was my post removed? Perfectly valid one and only in response to the photos in the above thread?
 
Where's my post then? Is this forum now becoming only for the "chosen few" to have their say or only those with "rose tinted glasses"?
Unless particularly offensive etc. a post surely shouldn't be removed? I'll have to revisit the definition of the word "forum".

I must be missing something here then. I followed Chelseadons post with one of my own regarding particular concern for the photos showing the movement of the "bobbly" type of slabs which I'm sure are there to assist blind or partially sighted people. This is of meaning to me as I have twin brothers who are partially sighted, hence my concern.
I am tiring of posts being deleted by one person.
I've been contacted by others showing the same concern.
What a shame.
Let's see if this one gets removed too.....
 
Nick, I think your post was actually removed from Tangmans Trip Report thread because the whole thread started to go off topic. This thread is a new one and as Sparky says, nothing has been removed from here.
 
Fair comment. But why then has mine, and any subsequent ones relating to it after Chelseadons post at the top, not been appended to this thread??? They're all relevant and anyone coming in on this would not have the benefit of seeing all the posts.
 
We arrive on the 21st and I'm now wondering wether to pack my sandals or my hiking boots , given the state of the footpaths. Only joking. :)
 
I would just like to see it in real life :)

We have not been able to visit since April 2015 and this autumn looks highly unlikely so 2016 is a complete miss and it will be spring 2017 at the earliest which will be a two year gap :eek:

Sitting here with my wife on these concrete works of art and eating cake by the ocean is my dream :)

Well I am afraid I don´t find it funny.

Quite a few on the photos were taken before the project was even finished and 50% of the rest of them are repeats of the same buiding "errors".

It would be worthwhile mentioning that the pavements are 3,5 kms long, and anyone with a slight bit of commonsense will realise that there are bound to be parts of it which are not perfect but that can be easliy rectified at the end of the season.

I bet a lot of London´s boroughs wished they had the same sort of quality for the price that we resident taxpayers paid.

This will be my last comment on the subject. I have better things to do, like try and enjoy life.
 
I think Tommo was just trying to lighten the conversation MdR. In some way we've all contributed to the (very poor) finish of the pedestrianisation.
 
Sorry Molt. Like Nick says I was trying a bit of levity, as it seemed to be getting a little bit heavy in there.
Anyway things would have to be very bad for it to put myself and Mrs T. Off coming to PP.
 
Arrive tomorrow We had no trouble in June wearing flipflops and really liked the wide pavements and lack of traffic on the front

Looks as though there will be some rain next week to wash away the dust !

The finish on the front there is better than most of our pavements at home nowadays !
