British bridge painting triggers criticism
Wandsworth Council in southwest London faced criticism after spending £600,000 on repainting two railway bridges at East Putney station using a color that resembles the IKEA store logo. The new color sparked controversy because it didn't match the area's green character, and residents labeled it as mismatched, now popularly known as the "IKEA Bridge." Officials explained that the design was carried out according to council specifications and approved by a former council member, and that the project was considered a capital maintenance work, which eliminated the need for formal consultations with the local community.
