Woohoo!
Love it when people can listen and observe and admit they got it wrong (and relatively quickly). It seems like such a dying art these days.

I said the same thing when they widened the Barton Road pavement between Beaconsfield and Limes Road, supposedly as a cycle path. Barton Path is literally a stones throw away and is/was already a cycle path. Effectively turned that bit of road into single lane and took away parking spaces.
I see Bridge Street is up for overnight closure soon. Hope it's to sort out the drainage by the bridge. They'd only just sorted it out there and then they resurfaced the road and managed to fill all of the drainage holes with tarmac
.
I doubt if they'll ever go back on Barton Road, but does anyone know what they did in Bridge Street? If anything? Probably just the necessary annual trimming of the trees/weeds on the opposite side from the drains that, if not trimmed back, effectively close the pavement.
Having walked that way in the rain tonight I reiterate that those drainage gulleys really need to be looked at.
Why not just drill a few deep holes so that the rain can drain directly into The Dour?.
