So Disappointed.
I was informed by letter from the County Council last week that the road I live in would be totally closed to all traffic from early evening to 5am the following morning. Even residents would not be able to move their cars off their drives or in my case the little car park attached to the bungalows.
Great I thought planning my night, taking photos of heavy machinery ripping the very heart and soul out of the road. Gangs of men dressed in orange work suits straining at the leash to rip up the old tarmac to make way for the new road surface. Massive trucks taking away loads of the broken remains of the old road. Heavy duty road rollers smoothing out the freshly laid tarmac as it steams in the cool evening air. The flashing orange lights of the excavators and the rumble of caterpillar tracks.
All Ive seen so far is two work men, 1 with a shovel to lean on and the other cupping a fag in his hand.
