I’m informed most of these ‘digs’ were the waterboard who had at least 10 attempts to repair a leak, resurfacing the road, installing new metal telegraph posts, gas and electricity problems accounted for other times. This work is undoubtedly necessary but each time it appears the work has been concluded, it remains unattended for a few more days.

Eventually the dig has been filled in but we have to wait for another construction unit to Tarmac the road, but still we wait. Yet another department comes to remove the traffic lights, cones and signage.

With all this digging is if someone informs you that there are no jobs for life, they are wrong!
