The roadworks being done by OCU to put in electricity cables from the Power station on the B480 (Watlington Road (OX44 6AU)) going around to the Oxford Science Park (OX44 4DQ), on the wide retarmacking parts (not the narrow ones) the road resurfacing all the way (on the parts which have been completed) are very uneven. The original road surface was flat and smooth. These retarmacked surfaces completed by "Master Mac Resurfacing Experts" (?) have not been steamrolled and therefore are very bumpy. There are still a lot or road sections to do over the next 2 years. Please would you be able to ask Master Mac Resurfacing experts (or a different retarmacking company who'll do a better job): 1. Ask them to fix/resurface/retarmac all the wide tracks of roadworks which they have already completed and to steamroll them FLAT 2. For the rest of the roadworks which they will be doing, please ask them to steamroll the sections flat properly with a steamroller which is big enough for the job (in all cases) They have done a very shoddy job on it and making a real mess of the road surface. Roadworks should leave the roads better not much worse.
