The High Street gas repair

To say that I have been frustrated by the progress of the roadworks in the High Street is an understatement. I think Christchurch traders have been incredibly tolerant in the face of this disruption which has been underway since September. I know that the weather has been a factor in the apparent slow progress of the repair to the gas mains but last week when notified that the whole project time would be extended by two weeks, I lost my cool. I have since received a letter explaining that design problems have caused extra work beyond the scope of the original specification and that we are in fact going to be subject to more road works to expose the pipes that need replacing. So on we go with the prospect of when this project finishing the team moving to Stanpit at Purewell Cross for more disruption. Will it ever end?
