Are the local council planning on resurfacing you? Have you been informed?I have noticed quite a few resurfacing signs around me recently

Wirral borough Council (Labour controlled) you should be ashamed of yourselves if you pay the Monkeys who laid this
Welsh roads are fantastic and thank god i am less than 5 miles from the border...The price we pay is over zealous road policing though using themOn the flip side and not a road repair as such, The best bit of fresh laid road I've driven on in a long time was 18 months ago down in wales when I was on a delivery, Honestly it was like driving on Glass.
No i never and funny enough they were in trucks not familiar...i bet the sub-contractor has sub-contracted the worst jobs out to a micky mouse outfitOur road was done a couple of years back, the kerbstones are like bananas, obviously production mistakes bought cheap, sunk and dangerous now. Pavements just brushed over with some sort of slurry, no masking, all over the verges, driveways, weeds growing through within weeks. I was walking one of the kids in a pram and couldn’t get past a wagon, crossed over and one of them was emptying his bladder in the gutter behind the wagon. I asked my mate at the council what was going on, he said it’s well known the contract was awarded due to a back-hander. Can’t remember the name of the contractor but quite a big one, did you spot it on their vans?
yes they are badColas it was. Terrible workmanship.
Must say that the Welsh authorities tend to be pretty good around here. They rarely bother with doing a bunch of repairs until it gets too bad and then simply resurface the lot.
I understand we have less traffic than say the south east but the speed at which roads can be resurfaced how much inconvenience would it be to schedule a night time closure and get in a load of vehicles to redo a mile or so at a time.
I can't remember exactly where it was but somewhere reasonably local a major A road was resurfaced in a couple of nights. You'd have thought it was daylight with the number of vehicles operating but they just had a pair of planers out in front with a load of lorries collecting the chippings. Followed a few hundred yards back by the tarmac machine and another fleet of lorries and then the rollers, followed by the line painters. Just a rolling road-laying team. Was actually quite impressive.
