(05 May 2015, 5:00 pm)AIG20 wrote Businesses and local residents are beginning to complain about the Seaburn Roadworks, due to apparently suffering losses of thousands of pounds.
One thing that am struggling to understand is why have they put the new streetlights up and connected them to the mains without disconnecting and removing the old ones? The only one which was removed was on the Morrisions roundabout, and they haven't done a very good job due to it being chopped off at the base instead of being fully removed - presumably leaving live wires exposed. It must be very bright down Seaburn now! In addition, Sunderland Council need to be told that LEDs are energy efficient - but not when they are burning 24/7!
Moreover, lots of the pavements and traffic islands are still a mess, and there are barriers and fencing all over the place - some of which fell into the road, presumably narrowly missing oncoming traffic. I don't think all this will be completed by the end of May...
The SunderlandNow Facebook Page has more information.
You look at those pictures and wonder why not one workman is doing any work...if they did some work then they would be done!
