I know I am the Victor Meldrew of this site but living in this city makes you like that.

How long is it taking to resurface Church Street?

This started months ago and has got to be driving shoppers to the Trafford Centre.

I wouldn't mind but every time I walk down there it seems no one is working on it.

Its taking ages, I went into town this evening and the place is awful, plus the closing down of HMV.....Its almost like they are making it up as they go along....and I'm sure there's a piece of xmas lighting still up

Speke Retails better.

What caused the differences in the height of the pavement that the middle section needed to be tarmaced?

Apparently they stopped working on it during the Christmas rush.But it seems as though they're having a two month holiday.

And 86 tea breaks every hour.

What annoys me is what happened to the original paving. Every time sewers or gas mains had to be repaired using open-cut methods, the block paving was taken up and replaced with quick, lazy tarmac. Is this going to happen again? I mean, within 12 months will the new work be patched with tarmac all over the place?

It is taking an age, and I'm not sure what the raised hump is about...

there are several bits where this replacement of the cobbles with lump of tarmac or puttng the cobbles back crappily, I was so peeded of took some photos emailed them to some people in the council and was reliably informed that Enterprise, (run by the only officer to sell his soul to the Devil-David McElhinney)
were contracted to reinstate the pavements with 30 days, the last time I looked the job still hadnt been done, that was jsut under a year ago......I'm gona check see if they stil ahvent been done and get emailing again, I even emailed Warren "Phil Cool" Bradley, give him his due he did reply but if he cant get it done then no one can. It'll be interesting to see how quickly the pavements in the Grosvenor scheme get laid, and repaired, no tarmac there methinks, m'lorship wouldn't like it
