Cashy, I think it IS publicity...but I would not call it good....well, except that no publicity is bad.

We were walking along Market way yesterday and there was a workman lifting the small bricks.
We asked why this was being done.
'Trip hazard' was the response
The council are doing temporary repairs to that section with black tarmac....the setts will be replaced at a later date....so we are paying TWICE for a job that should be done once.
