Why oh why do we let them get away with it?
I am of course talking about the cable tv firms who have left our pavements ridden with tracks and trench marks that are uneven and dangerous.
These tracks, plough through the tarmac that has replaced the traditional paving stone. Apparently the local council state that they only have to make the pavement good. Surely making good is visible and safe.
I challenge whether any one form the council actually checks on the quality of this work at all. All the cable companies should be made accountable for the mess they have created and be made to re-lay every pavement in its entirety.
How do they get away with it?
What you find after a year or two, like outside my very front door, these trench filled tarmac patches begin to disintegrate. Who is going back and claiming damages for poor materials and workmanship I say.
We pay enough Council Tax for services, we shouldn't be subsidising or have to put up with private sector bodge jobs on streets.
Make them accountable and councils get of your collective behinds and do something
