ph5172 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I asked this question of the local council regarding a similar incident. The reply was along the lines of in the contracts it is stipulated that if any marking is defaced or damaged that marking must be re done to the entire extent or natural stop point. You will probably find that if the contractor completed the whole word they wouldn't be paid for the extra ( i wouldn't know how much a painted letter is billed at) or would be in breach.... madness!

bluesj Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 No great shock the councils around here can't do stupid things or waste money fast enough! If they can do both at the same time even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmytree Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 No shuttering, barriers or warning signs. No traffic lights, cones, signs. No chapter 8. Who gives a toss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
