 Odd Road Works - zippy
Miss Z is currently renting because she still has to move hospital every year. Luckily this year the 2023/24 hospital and 2024/25 hospital are quite near each other so she is staying put with her current rental.

The house is on a newish estate - about 5 years old. The road is a loop with a spur to the nearby main road and is paved with bricks (I suppose blocks - but YKWIM) -it's quite nice.

Anyway, over the last 8 months there have been constant roadworks - not coming and going - on the road - around and around the loop, taking up the bricks and putting them back, taking them up again and putting them back. No-one seems to know why and all the contractors will say is that they have been told to.

I've measured the road - there are 20ish homes on it and it's 252 meters long. They have all their utilities, gas, water, electricity, phone, FTTP.

I'm wondering if the road wasn't made to specifications for adoption?

Miss Z was annoyed today because she's just arrived home and can't get on to her drive because they've dug up the bit of road outside her house - again!
