Left hand is holding the book/magazine

 

Right hand is doing the most important aspect of the job in hand

I don't know about a "great job" Chapel Road is breaking up in several places as expected with the bodge job that was done.

I seriously doubt this was funded out of the highway maintenance budget, because it isn't highway. I would hazard a guess it was funded by Veolia, the private company that run tips in Sheffield.

nope the road is part of the council land and with a council officer overseeing, and as you say veolia just "run it" not fund it or road repairs, i may be wrong but it doesnt look like it.

You could always contact Street Force tomorrow if you want a definitive answer about the funding of the work.

Spooning globs of hot liquorice into huge holes doesn't count as 'resurfacing'

 

It's classed as bodging a job, the next spell of freezing weather will have it all back out and twice as bad.

 

They might as well burn twenty pound notes and fling them out the town hall windows.

It can't be Hillsborough, most of the side streets have craters in them now!

Cowper ave has been re-done, as has Deerlands avenue, as has the roundabout with the Co-op on it at Southey.

 

There have been others I have seen but these are off the top of my head.

 

These have all been fully re-surfaced.
