Is there going to be a grand opening of some sort? A ribon cutting and a voucher for the first double parker?

Should be a round of applause for the first bus to go down Dartmouth Road since the 29th Jan!

I saw quite a few parked cars yesterday evening.
Please don’t park on the new surface. It needs another coat, and if your car is left by the do not park signs this evening, it will be towed away.

There is something beautiful about newly laid road.
But will it?
Anyone want to test this?

They are - but only as far is the surrounding roads. Had a couple dropped on our street yesterday - followed by some confused looking drivers hunting down their rides

I am looking forward to rolling down that on my road bike - nothing like fresh laid tarmac and that road was terrible for lumps and bumps prior to this…

Just hope the finished product is better than Brockley Rise lol.
That said, it was hideous before, so I too look forward to it.
Anyone want to run a book on when the first utility hole will be dug, and by who?

Maybe there should be a separate thread, winner gets a coffee and cake at Costa on me.
But I make you right. Repeat offending is their speciality.

The Road is looking black and slick, didn’t get a pic but it looks sick as the kids would say.
I’ll post a pic tomorrow when I’m not in my Jammies
It’s looking good though!
