Thank you Cllr Colin Ellar for taking the time to answer questions and keeping us informed of what is happening. Your answers do raise a few more questions though. “I have been informed there is now a national standard for street lighting and that the contractor is required to meet that standard on all of these works.” The new lamp posts that have been installed in Mayfield Ave and Park Road are different heights, is this because of the place/link designation of the roads or some other reason? “ From communications I receive at times some residents hold that councillors control every single piece of work and are personally responsible for any mishap or error by a contractor” I haven't seen the specification of what the contractors are supposed to be doing street by street, if there is a mistake it is difficult to tell whose fault it is. I would assume the contractors have done what they have been asked and the mistakes have been made by more senior people. “We are now coming to the end of the first 6 months of the contract and there is starting to be an visible impact on the quality of roads, pavements and lighting.” It has taken most of the first six months to NOT finish Mayfield Ave (at least I hope it is not finished.) I've read the Street Scene Design Guide but cannot work out if it acceptable for the contractors to use 2 or 3 different colours for paving, to asphalt some driveways and pave others. The biggest visual impact is the asphalt by the trees, around a few of the trees some of the asphalt has been cut back and a few sections have been painted. What were the specifications for the contractors? Will all the pathways look as bad as Mayfield Ave? “I am certain that the outcome of this massive investment will be a long term improvement but I understand that this level of change is something that has not been seen before and is at times unsettling for residents.” After years of neglect the investment is needed, I think most people are unsettled not because of the change, but because the programme of works looks like it is being done as cheap as possible. As I understand the main reason the pavements are being removed it because they cost too much to replace, so what is happening to them once they have been removed? From what I have seen they look like they are being broken up and sent to a land fill site. Why are they not being salvaged and reused or sold?
