I am surprised there is no report on here about the goings-on at the Kings Town Estate, Brading.
Workmen (there are eight of them in the road at the moment) renewed the pavements (tarmac) on some roads.
Will they ever be finished?
They have finished, cleared all their lorries, orange fencing, machinery from the road opposite so many times and then brought it all back to re-do work, that we wonder if they will ever be finished.
Now they are ripping up a long section of tarmac that they put down about two weeks ago and have nearly filled the massive, yellow skip outside our bungalow again with new slabs of tarmac. What a disgusting waste of money!
Tarmac sunk under weight of lorry
A couple of days ago, they parked a lorry completely on the pavement a couple of bungalows away from us, now a piece of that tarmac has sunk and cracked and has bollards round it, and this road isn’t even one that had the pavements renewed in the first place.
It is beginning to look as though they could even be ripping all the tarmac up again in the road opposite, as the skip is now full to the top with slabs of new tarmac that had been recently put down.
