  • The road has been tarmac covered but as the workmen agreed at that time the subsidence will need investigating by a different team who will then have to dig it up again! What a pity the structural team didn’t go in first and investigate the subsidence.

  • I was told by the person who came to investigate that the road was indeed subsiding. Structural engineers would come and investigate but in the meantime they would resurface the road , subsidence and all but when the investigation happens they would need to dig up the tarmac. This seems rather a waste of our money and your time.
