what a fiasco -as usual,no communcation

MOTORISTS are furious over plans for seven months of major roadworks on one of Doncaster’s busiest roads - weeks after it was last dug up.

Work designed to cut congestion on Balby Road was completed last month after drivers suffered weeks of roadworks which led to major delays along the route.

Now the road is to be dug up again as the energy company National Grid starts an £816,000 project to replace more than a mile of old metal with new hard-wearing plastic pipes.“If this work needed to be done, why could they not have done it at the same time as they were digging up the roads for the last few months? It always seems to be the same.

You're right its always the way. If only it could be better co-ordinated countrywide we'd save a fortune and our tempers.

I thought there was going to be some sort of clampdown by the government to get all the utility companies to liase and do things at the same time. Around here, we have had the roads up in various places for 18 months due to the all the gas pipes being replaced. It`s a real pain and seems neverending.
