I Had To Look Twice,

when I first saw this picture,

but it appears it has not been photoshopped, council contractors May Gurney did in fact paint round the lamp posts the bay was moved, plan B

to here, almost blocking the stairs leading to neighbours houses, so plan C will come in to effect, move the parking bay back to where it was and take down the lamp post, easy when you know how! it will paint the markings a third time on October 11 while also installing a zebra crossing 50 yards away further down the road, a spokesman for Essex County Council said the work will be paid for by the taxpayer but were unable to reveal how much it will cost.
