A borough has to have a boundary somewhere!

Agreed. But please place it somewhere sensible. Imagine for example
that my original query had related to someone complaining their dustbin
hadn't been emptied, instead of a street light being out: what would
these cosy little highways agreements have contributed to sorting that
one out in a cost efficient manner? Close to naff all I suspect!

Presumably you know in which borough you live, so would know which
council to call.

The point still stands; there has to be a boundary somewhere - and there
will always be *someone* who thinks the boundary should be elsewhere.

The thread about Dartford started me thinking. Which is the stupidest
boundary in London?

The Lewisham-Greenwich boundary through Deptford, Lewisham and west
Greenwich used to zig-zag all over the shop although it was
straightened out a few years ago, and Lewisham got to keep all of
Elverson Road and the Sayes Court Estate.

I think the boundary over Blackheath was changed too, so which borough
cut which bits of grass became clearer.
