Northern gas network digging up the streets and backlanes

Post by Steve30000 »

It'll only take them a week, they say.... Really? So why is it still dug up after a week and a half then? Then you still move onto the next area, having not finished the street/backlane you started?

Some people need to park at the back, yet they're just taking their time with no communication. I'd say most people don't want to park in the street during the night, so they need to stick to their deadlines.

why couldn't they have done this work during the summer when there was longer daylight?
Awkward and inconsiderate

Can you not claim compensation?
Some of the services have a scheme so that if they don't keep up their promises, you can claim.

They've actually sped up the process on Friday and worked over, so I'm assuming they've had complaints
