Repair to collapsed verge that happened February 2024 has finally been nearly done. Agreed works still need to be completed. What a comedy of errors l.l.c are. The pure disorganisation and absolute waste of public money. An inspector that had no clue what they are doing gives no/ totally wrong information to the repair team. 1 Road closure (totally unnecessary, as they where not working on the highway) and 3 separate days of work guys to do what was a days job.

Failing to jet the block gulley under the road out, so having to be chased again. Only for the guys to turn up today and jet 1 side leaving the other side completely blocked. ( luckily managed to flag them down and they did it.) The spoil of all this blockage was supposed to be removed by a mini digger. Again not on the job sheet. So now has to be chased again. This should be a 1 day job ..... crazy.

  • Can I add, the pipeunder the highway is a 225mm, 175mm internal diameter in size. The inspector told the guys to repair with 100mm pipe. The work guys had 150mm on the van.

    The photo shows the pipe starting to fill with sediment already. It hasn't even rained yet.
