| 1. Author: MessiPar Date: Sat 5th Oct 2024. 21:04 Is there massive financial resources for roadworks in Dunfermline as it seems it`s never ending. A road down from where I live has lights up for roadworks almost all year round. if you drive around Dunfermline it`s pretty much the same scenario in lots of areas. Are they so bad at repairing the roads that they have to keep doing it all year round, can companies not coordinate roadworks for damage, utilities, etc? Reply |

Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sun 6th Oct 2024. 12:26 Boy I work with said that council budgets need used by end of either Sept/Oct so they pile in the roadworks at the end of the year with their excess budget. Makes sense as there always seems to be loads of work done this time of year on roads that have been neglected for the 10 months before. Reply |

Makes sense as there always seems to be loads of work done this time of year on roads that have been neglected for the 10 months before Financial year runs March/April and all works are planned out for the whole year. Only emergency or unplanned works will get slotted in between. So the boy is talking rubbish. Post Edited (Tue 08 Oct 12:11) Reply |
