What's going on?

Does anyone know what the portakabins are doing on the Pennine Way (Loundsley Green) car park?

They seem to have been there forever! Every time we go past there are signs of life inside, and you can always hear generator(s) running. There's no clues on the signs outside, only the usual H&S warnings. 🤔

Wasn't it a covid testing place?

That's what I thought at the time, but it doesn't appear to have been one for some time. Perhaps it's still doing testing for other sites?

Called in town a couple of days ago and immediately saw multi coloured markings on the pavement, but walking round they are everywhere on the pavements and roads. They look like the kind of things you see when the water board or another utility company mark out where repairs are to be carried out but the place is absolutely awash with them.......any ideas?

Also whilst I'm on, at the same time was glancing in Martins travel window when I turned round to see workmen filling in potholes on Broad pavement no less, with a barrow load of tarmac and a jigapig. For the benefit of those not in the know Broad pavement is nothing more than a glorified back alley yet we constantly try to avoid potholes on main roads and others where nothing seems to be done.

I'm fed up of reportiong one street in our village. They go plop some tarmac in it and quite soon the hole is back!
It's a waste of time and money!

No, it is Job Recreation...if they fill the potholes properly, they wont have a job next year. This way, they get to know the area, the neighbours, and probably give the potholes names.

In town today and saw a lad on Burlington st. with spray can in hand and pipe finder that looks like a small lawnmower, he says it's water and it's going to be a big job. So if it's water and sewage expect disruption.
