At the end of June I said that West St Helen Street was the most uncared for street in Abingdon.

About a week later white boxes got drawn round the ruts and pot holes.

Then yesterday morning I awoke to the sound of road mending, and visited to take a picture. The workman thought I wanted the picture in order to complain because they had started so early.

“Far from it” I said, and returned this evening to take another picture, now the job is done.

Looks like the backlog is getting cleared now that the County Council have a new contractor.
