Workers have resurfaced a street around cars in Prestwich leaving residents gobsmacked. Neighbours came home to find the job had been left ‘half-done’ on their street.
The gravel put down a few days ago was successfully done and the notices to remove cars from the street had been taken down - meaning the Brandram Road residents thought it was fine to park their cars there. They were caught unawares 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.
“We left the cars for two days and we went away Friday afternoon and it was still under the road and we came back an hour ago to this,” Alicia McIntosh said.
