Power cable joint bay
Once these roadworks in Northfields Road North Acton are complete there won't be any sign of the underground power cable. One of the joints in the Wimbledon to Willesden power line is under the dark patch in the road with a lighter area inset. Signs on the road works say it is Balfour Beatty Power Networks working on behalf of the National Grid on a joint bay refurbishment project. The work seems to have been complete for over a week but signs say "Materials curing - please be patient".
[Edit in May 2020] The cables have been removed, see Image

Social distancing wears new path in grass, North Acton
Many local people use this park for their permitted daily exercise during the lock-down of the coronavirus pandemic. To keep the recommended 6 feet from others some walk or jog that distance away from the gravel path along one side. The result is this path worn in the grass. The road on the left is Northfields, the one facing is Eastfields.

London high voltage cables decommissioned, North Acton
The Willesden to Wimbledon high voltage oil-insulated cables ran under here. Maintenance work on the joint bay in 2007 is shown in photo Image The cables have been replaced by ones in deeper tunnels; the one from Willesden to Wimbledon runs via Kensal Green and does not go under here. The darker patches of tarmac now are where there were cabinets on the pavement, and recently a deep pit in the roadway through which the oil was extracted.

Family rounders during coronavirus pandemic, North Acton
During the pandemic exercise is only allowed alone keeping apart from others, or just with members of the same household. So here a family is playing rounders on North Acton Playing Field, well away from other users of the park.
