Sheep Street blocked

That's a bit of a surprise, Simon - I was told that they did not need to disturb the surface on Sheep St.  And Tim, yes, the current surface is temporary and I 've been told they will be relaying the original surface when the work is completed.

Oh well - providence got tempted after all.  But I guess that two trenches across the new road surface is better than a patchwork quilt.  Long live joined-up thinking - and utilities planning!

Are they going to replace the pavement surfaces like for like ? as some of them look terrible.

Pavements have been used mostly throughout Charlbury you'll find.

No, you're not tempting providence, Simon, they have agreed to use the pavement in order to ensure that the recently restored road surface is not damaged.

Given that we waited for about ten years for the road surface to be repaired, I for one am pleasantly surprised that the contractors haven't followed the example from the 1960s film 'A home of your own', and dug it all up again.  I hope I'm not tempting providence here .......

Even the pavements which they have now dug up.. such a mess.
