Your article on about repairs to the cobbled Merton Street (Thursday, September 22) reminds me of a letter of concern I wrote to you approx-imately five years ago and also my conversation with Bill Heine on local radio.
Since then many more patches have appeared plus small craters, with often loose and dangerous cobbles littering Merton Street.
I am often in Merton Street as I play Real Tennis there.
At times, the street is full of film crews, heavy equipment, including filming and camera equipment (I have photographs to confirm), that not only fill the street but shut it down for several days (example; Lewis).
Surely with the vast amount of money made from these films or TV series, serious contributions should be made?
After all, before too long, the cobbles will disappear, the charm would diminish and the scenery would not give the same effect.
