HAHA i was right about blackburn road relaying surface..

mani · 15-01-2009, 13:37

got a letter through the post

Quote:

as you are probably aware the new surface laid in october 2008 has failed in several places

it will be necessary to remove the defective road surfacing material and lay a new surface. test have shown surfacing materials which were originally laid did not meet specification. the works will be undertaken at the expense of the materials supplier. work is set to commence on 18 january

traffic controls will be set up similar to the original works

expect more delays folks!!

At least it is not a direct waste of our money this time.

The materials supplied where sub standard so the full cost of the resurfacing is being paid for by the material supplier and not LCC.

If you want to complain about money wasted by LCC have a look what they have been doing to school yellow zig zags recently.

they could save a fortune by not putting any road markings along hyndburn road like give way markers or yellow lines etc seen as none of the rules of the road exist down there why bother wasting the paint

accyman · 16-01-2009, 13:05

oops i meant blackburn road not hyndburn road

maybe an admin or mod will be kind enough to edit my post to show blackburn road please

the council cant win can they, you lot moan because the roads are crap and you moan when they do something about it ....jeeeeeeeez some people

Neil · 18-01-2009, 13:45

We are not moaning because they resurfaced the road, most road around here need doing. We are moaning because they did it and the road fell to bits again after a few weeks so it needs doing again

but its not the councils fault, its the fault of the tarmac suppliers who's tar wasnt upto the requied standard, hence the cost of the new surface being paid by them and not the council !!
