Residents left bemused after council workers resurface road AROUND their cars

Bury Council have vowed to finish the road resurfacing works after contractors avoided areas with parked cars. The residents in Prestwich were left baffled last week after they came home to see work resurfacing works ‘half-done’ on their street.
The initial layer of gravel was put down successfully and the notices to remove cars from the street had been taken down - meaning Brandram Road dwellers thought it was fine to park their cars there. They were caught unawares, though, when the workers returned and put a sticky resin [liquid bitumen] on top of the gravel to hold it in place, avoiding the areas where cars were parked.
Residents were left bemused when they returned home. One man, 74-year-old Stewart Lomas, was confident the council’s contractors would return to finish what they started.

The council has now confirmed that the work is all complete bar one space where a car remained - which will be completed today.
“I was away for two hours and I came back to this,” he said last week. “I thought I was in the clear because they put the signs down.
“I was worried about the clippings because it’s a contract car I have, when I saw this coating I saw it got rid of the clippings which is good. I am not complaining about that.
“I think they are going to come and finish it. I am hoping so. It’s a half done job. Not fit for purpose.
“If the street was all done it would not look that bad. There are other streets that still need doing.
“Everyone likes the top coat but we just need it across the whole road. I think they were just filling the time they had here, it was not for cost cutting purposes I don’t think.”

Scots delivery driver 'battered in road rage attack' left furious after cops slap him with warning
A delivery driver who claims he was viciously kicked in the head after being ‘attacked by a road rage driver ’ has slammed police after they gave him with a recorded caution instead. James McGoldrick called officers for help after being followed by a man who had earlier cut him off on the road while he was on his way to drop off food in East Kilbride last November. The 59-year-old claims he was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked by the man as he tried to defend himself. But James, who is also a carer for his partner, claims that Police Scotland officers did not arrive at his home to take a statement until two days after the incident - and that they failed to record any information about his injuries. After around two weeks without contact from cops, the dad-of-two says officers then turned up at his partner’s home and slapped him with a formal police caution while allegedly stating that he had just ‘been in a fight and lost’. James, who believes he is a victim of injustice, told the Record: “I ended up with a concussion but they’re trying to say it was a wee stramash.
