Road resurfacing, Amey & Streets Ahead

[parkydave 10]

Anyone know if Chesterfield road around Heeley is going to be resurfaced after Roadworks are finished

[neeeeeeeeeek 10]

There are no 'ramp' signs up though, I would have though they would be required.

The ramp signs I saw where next to the ramp, instead of being several yards down.

 

It was also night time

The unsurfaced roads round there at the moment are better than they were before they scraped the surfaces though

 

there’s not much difference in the road surface before and during the resurfacing works, that’s for sure

 

However, hitting the ramp at 30mph is not recommended

Last week aggregate industries (who are doing the resurfacing for amey) gave notice to end their contract with Amey due to non payment running into hundreds of thousands, the non payment covers materials (tarmac!) & subcontract costs. Aggregate industries have agreed to complete the surfacing on roads where already removed but no new surface removal will take place.... amey have been given 2 weeks to either pay up or find a new contractor.

 

Hi there, first time poster here!

 

Do you happen to have any source for Aggregate's notice towards Amey?

 

I'm a journalist and I'm looking to get in contact with both Amey and Aggregate later today, but if you have a source to this information, that would really help me out

That was the plan - whether it is still the case, I'm not certain

I've noticed since Christmas that the concrete of the tram route through Hillsborough has developed some very deep (10cm perhaps) and large potholes.

I'm sure there will be plenty of fun making symbolism of the inevitable derailing of a tram then, and the general attitude of our beloved council and their contractors of choice.....

Are Amey definitely responsible for the tram route?

[Cyclone 10]

It's part of the road surface isn't it?

Yes of course - I would have just thought that they would have kept maintenance of the tram track out of the scheme and had a specialist sub-contractor for that.

 

It's normally Volker Rail that do the maintenance on the Supertram track.

I tried looking and couldn't find one. I strongly suspect this has been embargoed by infinite levels of lawyers. I imagine all parties involved will be like Chavs

in a Police station. No comment and lawyers holding their hands at all times.

Don't know if you were in Sheffield last summer, but road resurfacing stopped dramatically in July with half the roads in planned zones done and half not done.

 

Resumption has been very piecemeal.

You're letting facts get in the way of another Amey / Council slagging thread
