Guest makapaka Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Confidential. The go-to-phrase for this whole Amey debacle. It's really not a debacle. The streets, roads and lighting are massively improved - everyone can see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The trees aren't improved, the street resurfacing seems to have stopped unexpectedly and there are unconfirmed reports about the poor quality of some of the work causing potholes to appear already. ---------- Post added 18-08-2017 at 07:27 ---------- You couldn't be more wrong Cyclone.AMEY are getting fined left right and centre by the council. Evidence? (more words) ---------- Post added 18-08-2017 at 07:28 ---------- All behind schedule due to the tree protests - the programme is a complete streetscape refresh - new road surface, pavements, street lights and trees (where existing trees are either unsafe in themself or have roots that are likely to damage road/pavement. Protests haven't delayed the road resurfacing, it's simply stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicksy3 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Work going on at Chippinghouse Road today- looks like pavements and I didn't notice any contractor/subbie names. Given that it's now August 2017 and this was due to be finished by 2017, why is it that something like only 10% of my route to/from work every day has been done? Surely it should be 95% of my route? Unhappy with quality of work where it has been done- potholes and bumps have been replaced with undulations causing car to rock on springs. This will lead to localised wear and hence potholes re-appearing. Awful communication about tree removal- where are the replacement trees? Lots of chainsaws, very few spades and saplings in evidence. Has the dispute with subbies been resolved? My road due to get done- long overdue but pointlessly patched. How do they decide which of the potholes to fill out of the one-in-ten that they do fill?

Cyclone Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 They're starting pavements around here (Wadsley) next week, but as you say, lots of my commute (and it's only 3 miles) hasn't been done yet. Some of the bits that haven't being some of the worst in the city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goooooogle Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Any proof of this , please No evidence on fines but plenty of evidence on them being put into small claims court on a very regular basis... http://imgur.com/a/yrHdy And their finances look awful - maybe that is normal for this kind of setup - beyond my knowledge.

Cyclone Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We had signs up about pavements being resurfaced this week, and a note through the door. Tuesday morning (when it was due to start) all the signs have mysteriously vanished and the work has not happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
