Yes, I am just about to raise it with Amey, as the double yellow line at the
bottom of Newington (even numbers side) is higher than before and the single
line that should be over the gateway is higher too and not at all near the
gateway. The result is the loss of about 3 parking spaces.
And yes I think it would be good to coordinate our complaints Gorden.

Is it worth raising again that the double yellow lines are not drawn where
they should be, according to the notices published last time the roads were
resurfaced? There could be half a dozen more free spaces is the lines went as
close to Brocco Bank as they are on some roads off Ecclesall Road.
Does anyone know how the council decides how many parking permits they can
sell to give people an "acceptable" chance of finding a space?

Dear neighbours,Everyone I have talked to on Newington and Rossington Roads is
very upset at the poor quality of the recent work resurfacing the two roads,
especially compared with the now completed work on Everton Road.Individuals
have made formal complaints, and ECCO has also lodged a complaint.Attached is
the contents of a reply to David Black about why our two roads were not given
the same treatment as Everton Road (and many other local roads), previously
circulated on ECCOTalk.Note that the issue of whether our two roads should have
been given the same treatment as Everton Road is distinct and separate from the
issue of the quality of the work actually carried out.Now the work appears to
be finished I think that as residents of Newington and Rossington Road, we
should coordinate our complaints and petition the council as a group, both
about whether we should have had the same treatment as Everton road, and about
the quality of the work actually carried out. Note that in the letter to David
Black, Philip Beecroft states 'The site has been inspected and I can confirm
that the micro surfacing has been carried out to a good standard.'If you
disagree that the work is 'to a good standard', please reply to me at
gordon.ferguson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (or share on ECCOTalk), and also indicate if you
have made any formal complaints. Please also include any observations of the
work that you witnessed whilst at home. Please also talk to your neighbours,
especially as not everyone is on ECCOTalk.Once all your observations are
received we (if you wish) can put together a petition to the council from all
residents of Newington and Rossington Roads. We can also consider inviting our
councillors to our December ECCO meeting to hear our complaints.Regards,Gordon
