[maggidee 10]

its only about 3 weeks ago that all the pot holes were filled in, and today the road is closed and they are resurfacing the whole of normanton hill what a waste of time and money.

They cant win can they if they had left the pot holes saying "its going to be done in 3 weeks" and some one had an accident due to them they would sue the council .

 

So if they filled them in they then get told off for wasting money :loopy:

So why couldn't they just resurface the road properly 3 weeks ago?

'cos the resurfacing gang was working elsewhere?

So who were the gang that filled the holes in? The hole filler gang?

Probably .... I don't know for definate but I suspect you need different kit to resurface a road as opposed to just filling holes in and patting them down..

Maybe when the holes were being filled in it became apparent that the road would need resurfacing?

The waste of money is resurfacing the road and putting traffic calming measures in. They may as well just leave it in its current state as that does a perfect job of calming the traffic!

[maggidee 10]

well said gunner didnot know about them doing calming measures, 2 speed cameras would have done that

The filling pot holes levels the road which can then be resurfaced-because there is now a uniform surface.I think you have very little idea of road engineering and owe the authorities an apology.

The guys that do the potholes are working for streetforce and are working from instructions from the highways department to do the potholes as a makesafe repair either from a safety inspection or a complaint from the public until the sub-contractors get round to the resurfacing programme of this particular road.This road has been in the programme of resurfacing work for a least 2yrs but because of budget cuts and safety scheme implications all the council has been able to do is keep it safe.Im sure once all the pfi work starts the sheffield public will be complaining about our roads actually getting repaired!!!!!

[jackeith 10]

does anyone know when all the road repairs are supposed to start
