Footway work is to start in West St Helen’s Street early in the new year and continue for about 11 weeks. Footway must be the official term, as opposed to pavement .
All the coloured markings that were made almost a year ago are now explained.
Apart from a bit of disruption it will be good to have the pavements brought up to the level of the rest of the town centre – possibly even better if it is to take 11 weeks.
I do find it strange when repairs are made to our pavements, the splended paving stones are removed, repairs fixed, and then replaced with …… tarmac?!? The pavements are beginning to resemble a patchwork quilt with black splodges everywhere.
