Victoria Park was finally resurfaced on monday and we now have a nice shiny new road. They employed a technique known as Microsurfacing using a large vehicle which made three passes, one down each side of the road and then one down the centre. The day was preceded by much publicity plus signs and cones but there were still people who had to be knocked up and asked to move their parked cars. One character who looked like Magwitch from Great Expectations protested at considerable length at having to move his disreputable motorhome. Two cars were left unclaimed and had to be worked around, leaving a little island of unmade road for the future.

I drove along there yesterday and while it was an improvement on what it was I thought the job was a bit shoddy...but I'm no expert .

I was told that it is quite patchy, due to cars not being moved - as above.
That photo doesn't depict the finished job/surface though does it ?

I wonder how long it will be before the road is dug up.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Just driven down it, as bumpy a ride as ever before! That 'microsurfacing' is the same method that was used on the footpath outside my place last year, it's breaking up already.

It sounds like it's just a skim as in plastering, as you say it probably won't last long.

They did a similar trick on Barville Road, between Lower Eythorne and the A256, a couple of years ago. The potholes were back literally within a few hours of the road re-opening.
