An abandoned BBQ trolley alongside a cable TV junction box which is spattered with graffiti, a mountain of contractor fencing, with one panel obstructing the footway for anyone in a wheelchair or pushing a pram or buggy. The rest of the walking environment here is a corridor between a brick wall and a line of vehicles parked on the pavement. It's a mystery why fewer and fewer people are choosing to walk, is it not? Richards Place E17, yesterday.
