Bluefoam you are right. The recycling bins look an eyesore. But then the whole street is an eyesore. tacky is a very apt expression for the whole street. It has been criminally mis-managed down through the years. Who would allow at least six fast food outlets to open on their country’s main thoroughfare in any other country? maybe the spike will serve as a distraction to the destruction.I dont yet know what to make of it and I think it would be unfair to treat it as a completed project until all the surrounding works have been finished including the LUAS works.
