But not sure theres much other options tbh. Won't be doing anything like that though till 2022 I would say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking 40mm of the top will not solve the proplem if the concrete is cracking it will be in its entire depth, they will be basically hiding the surface and on the Promenade the environment will wash 40 mm of tarmac out in the first winter storm ffs who come's up with these shit idea's? sound's like a JR solution, just like himself f~~king brainless.

Nellie Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Accordingto the '4 Week schedule' which Auldyn and DoI publish (but which seldom resembles what actually happens) the 'Red Slab Repairs' are supposed to start next week. https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/myprom.im/dpr_4weekprog_03-05-21.pdf Will be interesting to see what this actually entails, and the extent of the works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll no doubt be patched up with resin or whatever else they have in mind. Will last 12 months and then start to crack even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's on the south part so basically Loch Prom where there are no tracks. I didnt think there were any cracks on that part but I am always distracted by the sinking zebra crossings so who knows...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Its amazing when you think about it after 2 1/2 years there's actually not one section or area that is finished . Most of the road areas still have to have a final top coat , red concrete ,we all know about that , and still lots of services to go into dwellings and shops etc . It really has been a failure of epic proportions. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day he took exception to someone not addressing Baker as Minister on an email. Petty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't we import some of their quaint customs too? Does anyone have Xi Jinping's phone number? Edited May 9, 2021 by Nellie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few spray painted circles gone down on the Loch Prom red concrete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
