Elgin and Randolph: Resurfacing again?

Several residents have been in touch to enquire as to why the Council spent two days last week resurfacing parts of Elgin Avenue and Randolph Avenue which had only been done a couple of months ago.

Having taken up the issue with the Transportation Department, they have been applying new anti-skid surfaces to the approaches of the junctions on both roads. Although it might look like a doubling of work, the Council waits a minimum of a month from when a new surface is originally laid down to allow any excess bitumen to be removed by traffic wear. Once a sufficient time period has elapsed, the anti-skid surface can then be applied.
