Meanwhile, nearby there is a new crematorium under construction, and this has seen some of the original columns on the adjacent road replaced. However, for some reason Hampshire have replaced three or four of the columns but retained two random columns in amongst the bunch, just fitting new lanterns to them. Again, these older columns will qualify for replacement under the PFI, so what on earth is Hampshire up to?Sounds crazy. A street here had most of the 1970s 8m columns replaced, with new ones and Sapphire 2s (flat glass) but for some reason they left two columns, and the old lanterns, which consists of a GEC Z9454 retrofit and a GR100. Why do councils do these things? The fact that new identification stickers have been applied to the 2 old columns show that they weren't forgotten. If they are willing to replace a newer column with SGS203, or even a 1970s column with a SGS203, then why not an old column with an old GR100. It makes no sense!
