Resurfacing questions..

Recommended Posts

This reminds me, at about this spot

 

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4223452,-1.5208539,195m/data=!3m1!1e3

 

The contractors appear to have dumped either the waste from scraping the footpath, or some left over tarmac over the side of the wall onto the verge.

 

Any idea who to report this too?

I think earlier on someone suggested that the footpaths get done first otherwise the newly laid road may get damaged by the footpath laying equipment.

Spot on, that's exactly what they did with Crookes Road.

Did our road first then footpaths but that might have been partly to do with not all lamp posts had been replaced but I think most of them are in grass not actual foot paths

The usual order of events is where I’ve seen it is

 

new lamppost put in first plus associated digging up of pavements and wiring upgrades where needed.

 

Remove old lamppost and fit new LED heads to the new pole

 

New curbs to replace those broken and then fill pavement back up and put down the base layer of tarmac.

 

Strip back then resurface the main carriageway

 

Put final top coat on pavement once it’s been snagged. That can be some weeks later.

 

To be fair that seems like a pretty sensible order of doing it
