Typical highways contractor, spend as little as possible so the major share holders can line their pockets at the end of every Quarter with the savings.....all at the expense of the general public who use the roads. These contractors have proven over and over again that they do not care at all about the safety of the general day to day highway user. This is a direct contradiction to that which they portray through the media, all they seem to do is supply lip service to pacify the public including the MOT who, of course is supposed to be policing they contractors.
I say clean house, give a new contractor the area and make sure the new contractor hires new employees also, maybe then we will get the road serviced as it is required and needed for us, the people who use the highways.
