6 months ago our road was paint marked for repair patches - the road is 1 mile long and the works needed diversions.
A month ago a diversion was put in place for the council workmen (Cormac) to come. We all thought it was the road surface repair but no, it was white lining. They painted half a dozen junctions, two mini roundabouts and a few stop/school markings.
Last week the diversion was put in place and the council workmen (Cormac) came again. This time they filled pot holes and scraped 100-200yrd parts of the road surface off to re tarmac. In doing so they obliterated all of the new white lines/paintwork except for one mini roundabout.
Why can they not coordinate. We now have temporary red signs up advising of "no roadmarkings".
What a waste of money.

Local council repainted the disabled bays outside the post office even though another department had been along and removed the disabled plates from the wall after the post office closed.
Highways repainted the speed camera lines on the road after camera had been removed.Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.
Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.
