The local council was left scratching their heads as a strange occurrence took place in their town. Builders seemed to have accidentally placed a lamppost through the rooftop of a newly constructed building, much to the dismay of the community. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that this peculiar feature was not included in the original plans for the development in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester. The Mirror reported on this bizarre situation, bringing it to the attention of the public.
Council officials wasted no time in addressing the mistake and confronting the builders responsible. It was decided that the lamppost would be promptly moved to its correct location. A spokesperson from the Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council shared, "We have had a conversation with the developer and they have agreed to remove the lamppost and relocate it closer to the neighboring boundary wall."
Photos of the building showed the lamppost running along the street-facing wall before piercing through the lower lip of the rooftop and extending several feet into the air. Residents of the area were left in shock by this strange design decision made by the builders. This was one of many extraordinary stories making headlines that week.
The lamppost was set to be removed and relocated to a more suitable distance from the building. In a separate event, a demolition team was called to the home of Sir Captain Tom Moore's daughter to remove an unauthorized spa and pool complex. The complex, reportedly worth £200,000, was built without the proper permits and caused controversy among the residents of Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire. They felt that this situation was a mockery of the late captain's legacy.
Sir Captain Tom Moore, who passed away at the age of 100 in 2021 due to complications from Covid-19, had raised an impressive £40 million for the NHS by walking laps in his garden. His daughter, Hannah Ingram Moore, and her husband Colin had applied for permission to build an office for the Captain Tom Foundation on their property. They later submitted another application for a spa and pool, which was rejected. Despite this, they went ahead and built the complex, leading to a legal battle and the eventual removal of the spa and pool last week.
