Why on earth are they complaining to the media, just end the contract, in fact it should have been terminated within the first few days by the look of it.
The problem is with outsourcing, when bending the figures in favour, the cost of supervision/inspection is overlooked (if it was included the outsourcing would probably not be viable)
It takes a lot of knowhow to lay a good road surface, and a lot of knowhow to do patch repairs, that was why local authorities retained an experienced teams to do this work, between laying or repairing these men would do other council work
New members to the team would be taught by the others, and above all they had pride in their work, and they would have to clean up the mess if they got it wrong.
I wonder if councils still employ Civil Engineers, and if so why because they obviously do not listen to any advise given?
