There are no notes on the fencing or iron gates that have been fixed into the ground by concrete (and appear to have taken up slightly more pavement than is required - luckily I don't have a pram to worry about) so I have no idea what the next phase will be.

I'm dreading the work starting but maybe they are just providing us with a visual reminder

As it will form the entrance to the estate I suppose it makes sense that it will be large - it just looks so stark and big in the street like that.
