PP Displays/High Street
Subject: Positively Putney Display Images 22/10/22Please note my email as of yesterday re the state of Positively Putney's displays/vandalism to same forwarded to Nicola Grant and her prompt response, also as of yesterday. My queries re Positively Putney's relationship with Putney's residents made to Nicola Grant recently on this forum also to Nicola Grant in an email sent on 17th October are as yet unanswered. Dear Nicola, Please see the attached images. The Positively Putney display by the station has now been further trashed ie moved so that the soil is spilling out of the bottom of the flower boxes onto the pavement. Note the disused chair thrown behind the display with other detritus. You will also note that the doorway to the left of the displays has been/is being used as a temporary home and incidentally smells badly of urine. (It has been in this state for a very long time.)Someone has been attempting to use the space behind one of the Positively Putney boxes outside M&S hence the boarding amongst the rubbish. Again - note the rubbish!None of these images illustrate Putney High Street as attractive of having been in any way ‘enhanced’ by any agency. I await your comments re these images and also regarding the matters raised in my previous email. Dear Miles,Thank you for your emails.The flower boxes and wooden structures will be removed next week. These were installed to discourage homeless people sitting in front of the station – so that issue may return but I agree they have outlived their useful life. Our contractors regularly pressure wash the doorway by the bookmakers.The ivy and more recent low level greenery was installed by M&S as a temporary measure. Ideally, we need the unit occupied. M&S still have another 3 years on their lease and it seems the landlord is going to hold out until then. We could remove the planters but we may then result in more homeless people deciding it is an ideal home as is under cover.
