View Full Version : High Street Wick
The new tar has just been layed on High Street and the pot holes have gone. The council have turned up and are painting the lines on the nice new road. AND THE HYDRO HAVE JUST TURNED UP AND DUG IT UP AGAIN OUTSIDE THE PARISH CHURCH.

No - the Hydro have NOT turned up and dug it all up again. I passed it this morning and the Hydro have dug up a little patch on the PAVEMENT outside the Parish Church.
Calm down, for goodness sakes!! :roll:
Even if they have - what if you had something wrong with your electricity supply? Would you expect the Hydro to do nothing abot it because the road had just been tarred? NO! You would expect them to sort it right away, wouldn't you?
People have been moaning about this street for ages and the council have done something about it eventually. Wind yer neck in.
It wasnt up to the council it was the contractor that was the hold up

Ok. But if you pass it again this afternoon you will see that they are now digging the road. And part of the problems with the last surface was that it was dug up several times and here we are again. Tar layed yesterday, Hole dug today. If this was an emergency then yes it has to be sorted, but there seems to be a bit of history repeating its self here. No sooner is the road repaired than we start to mess it up again.

I believe one of the main problems with the previous job was that the tar supplied was not of the correct standard. Hence the rapid deterioration in parts.

Yup, the tar was supplied sub-standard...nothing to do with Sinclairs.
Wot yer want white lines for? Can't you steer without them?:Razz
Who supplied the asphalt? A reputable manufacturer would have a quality control system in place to stop sub-standard material leaving the depot.
When will they sort the roads that need it most?
The road south from the cliff to the outskirts of town is a disgrace,i went this way in my friends lowered car and felt i should contact a dentist and chiropractor after the run.
Also a mechanic for ma friends car wi all the bits falling off cos o the kicking his suspension got.
Honestly at this rate we'll all need hover cars to protect us fae the pot holes!

The road from the Seaforth Club south doesn't belong to the council, it belongs to Transerve as I have just put a claim in for my suspension springs on the car because of the state of the pot holes in the road.

South Road won't be repaired until at least next year. There was a dispute over who was taking responsibility for the drainage. This has been sorted but the work won't begin for a while yet - and Transerve aren't going to resurface it until after the work is completed.
It is a disgrace and they are being pushed to get the work done quicker but whether they will or not remains to be seen.

It will be interesting to hear if you get anywhere with your claim, but good luck.
