Anyone who knows Streatham will know Streatham Green, just over the road from St Leonards and between Streatham High Road and Mitcham Lane. And there's a beautiful, big old tree on the Mitcham Lane side. The Green was renovated last year and looks really good now. But it gets dark at night.Lambeth council, in it's infinite wisdom, has draped the lovely old tree in lights to brighten the area up and add a bit of sparkle. And the day after the lights are switched on they're always broken or vandalised - it's so sad and annoying because it looks so good and makes such a difference to that area. The lights were back on tonight when I was walking home from work so I took the opportunity to take a photo since I expect them to be off again tomorrow.
