A couple of years ago we had a mains water leak where the end of the drive meets the pavement - despite various dire "its your land so you may have to pay" emails from the water board, they agreed to fix it, taking up a bit of the drive but mostly a 2-3m wide section of pavement.
Well today the same team of guys are back! We had no comms about it, but apparantly the council somehow deemed the work substandard, because it has dropped below pavement level. By about 2mm, and a gently curving 2mm at that. So they are now noisily digging up the road outside to re-do this repair.
Meanwhile, there are endless holes in pavements and roads all around, some of them so bad they could kill me on the bike if I'm not paying attention, which no one mends for months or years on end..............................
