Road resurfacing, Amey & Streets Ahead

[Planner1 428]

Other than in legal fees taking residents to court to protect AMEY's profits

The Council, as the highway authority, are contractually obliged to put in place the conditions for Amey to carry out the contracted work.

 

If that means prosecuting anyone who obstructs the work, then it's part of the normal highway authority function, nothing to do with protecting anyone's profits.

So is there an updated plan of resurfacing ?

It could be argued that the protesters were trying to ensure AMEY did the job properly, and were trying to stop AMEY doing works outwith the contract (chopping down trees) to minimise the cost to them of fulfilling the contract- thereby protecting their profits. Anyway this has no doubt been done to death in other threads..

Resurfaced the pavements on our road Saturday 2days ahead of schedule. What a joke just put tar on top of what was already a uneven road. Surface With the extra height this is causing rain to gather around cellar crates any heavy rain will probably enter into properties. Some of water stoptap covers partially covered with tar. The pavements look a disgrace if I was employing them the bill would not be paid.

I was talking to an Amey employee last night. He admitted the company was using substandard materials to resurface the pavements.

Is it within the specs set out by the council though?

They are resurfacing a section of burngreave road today,  for the third time! They did if for the cycling a couple of years ago, then they did it again not long after even though there was nothing wrong with it.  Now they are doing it again for no reason what so ever!
