Last visited on April 7th, some two months ago. While substantial progress has been made and the pot plants have been delivered, the thinking that things stay 99% complete for a long time is clearly sustained.

The blob at the end of the path is a bit of masonry which I imagine supports some kind of heritage tablet, to be declared open by a present or past mayor and recording the former presence of a brick water tower for posterity.

Given that discussions about who exactly is responsible for what between the developer and the council are said to be continuing, I wonder who is responsible for this last lap? I imagine the Erith contract stopped when they had got all the masonry out and roughly levelled the ground. Is there a management company responsible for all the public areas - quite extensive with lots of trees and shrubs, mostly dating from the days of  tree-loving asylum superintendents - or is that down to the same council contractors who like to chip away at the bases of newly planted trees with their sit and ride lawnmowers?
