Having spent more time reading posts while in self isolation , I have to say that TDTB talks a lot of sense and TSOS is very easily confused. A different perspective when looking in from the outside. 😦 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majkul Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 By the time they finish the roads (not even God knows when), the newly laid pavements are gonna look so dirty and old, they'll probably have to do them again. But then again, maybe that's the plan, so they can pilfer a few more million pounds. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hedgehog Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Away from the prom it would be nice to know why the newly resurfaced Curragh Road in St Johns is closing for a fortnight for resurfacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the traffic lights on the 4 junctions, they have allowed plenty of time as most of the civils I believe have been done during the past closure.

Dig deep my friends. I sympathise with some of his points. There needs to be more pressure to redevelop brownfield sites (and pan-Island too), it's not the full answer but it has its part to play, Lord knows there's enough of them. They also need to apply pressure to "old money" landlords to bring property up to scratch particularly in appearance where applicable. DBC could do their part here with incentivation via the rates system too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll put that on right at the end, at which time those ramps up to the tramlines will disappear, and the drainage will (hopefully) work properly., No, I didn't realise that. That's why I raised the question. Thank you for your civil reply, unlike that other sanctimonious twat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why water is gathered currently . It should be fine when they finish the surface level. But I'm not 100% sure they have got levels right . Time will tell Appreciate the informative reply. I didn't know. That's why I asked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for the younger generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 When I spend over £20m on a bit of roadworking I would expect my manhole covers to at least look in line. Is there some technical reason that this has to look so naff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
