Since the temporary fencing was erected around the stone pillar at the top of Oakfield Grove, nearly 5 years ago (which is another source of annoyance to residents, pedestrians and commercial vehicles), large shrubs are taking hold around the base of the pillar, which will only make the situation worse. Clearly, the permanent fixing of the pillar needs to be expedited - it has been raised numerous times by residents but we've heard nothing of a commitment to a date or repairs. In the meantime it has become an eyesore in this conversation area.
