Residents in Otley have complained about 'rubbish workmanship' from council contractors after a street in the town centre was resurfaced.
Locals have complained that the work on Mercury Row does not include sufficient drainage and that the surface is not in keeping with the rest of the town. Ward councillor Colin Campbell said that he was 'very frustrated' as the work had been scheduled to be done for five years and that he had contacted the council and demanded that they 'get the contractor back to do a proper job'.
He said: “It’s unfortunate because if the scheme had gone ahead in the format it was envisaged it would have improved the pedestrian area and made it better but the contractor seems to have undertaken the works in a very poor way. “It doesn’t lessen the risk of surface water going in to properties. It rained the other evening and this issue became very apparent.
