Aah, The council are learning at last! What normally happens is that contracters would dig a trench, lay the pipe (I believe gas in this instance) and spend thousands more making it nice and tidy only for the water pipe or cable contracters to come along the following week and dig it up again!

By not completing the job, they are saving money and making it easier for the next lot of contractors to dig up the road again

Eventually, it will dawn on the council to permanently leave the trench open so that pipes can be laid without disrupting traffic any more than normal
