Well-done Stafford road planning peeps , last week mark all new nice lines and double yellows and this week resurface with chippings. In Prescott ave and knights ave.
Give em a clap everyone

Strange one, this. I notice that they did mask the markings associated with the humps on Trenchard Avenue..

Those chipping are a really poor excuse for a road surface. Whilst they do it you get loads of tar spots on your car, as well as stone chips from cars who don't abide by the 20mph limit. Usually within two weeks you can see two lines where the cars drive and the chipping have gone. Whats the point?????

Quite a lot of point.

and you moan about not working for the council....lol

When to re-surface?

Before the road surface deteriorates to the stage at which expensive major patching and/or reconstruction is required.

Lovely new gravel and tar surface at the bottom of a pot-hole on Corporation Street..

The A34 is single lane southwards from Halfords to Gaol Square.

Surface dressing is a right pain if you are on a racing bike with skinny tyres. If you're on a bike you're more likely to get a stone chipping in your eye if you aren't wearing glasses.

Also, it masks the even road surface so you can't see where all the bad sections are.
