That would be a good option. Especially as it probably dates back to the days before everyone was issued a wheelie bin.

I've had a look at a few other courts in the area - all of them have a pole in the same spot. It appears to be a deliberate design choice.

I sort of feel like a streeet with four houses in it shouldn't need traffic management solutions. But if you do then using a pole just means you are missing the opportunity for a small garden bed.
