Eight shocking months to construct a roundabout at Hambridge Road on a main link road to Newbury.
I think the contractors are going round in circles!
Rumours abound that mistakes have been made during the construction of the roundabout, taking the completion date from November 2012 to February 2013, but no public announcement has been made by the contractor explaining what has gone wrong!
I asked the Conservative administration at West Berkshire Council, if financial penalties would be imposed on the racecourse developer who employed the contractors.(council let contracts can be subject to financial penalties if the work is not completed on time) but the reply was NO! I have asked the Highways Dept to review the situation urgently.
Stop Press! News just in - the works have been extended yet again, to March!
