https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/17566057.new-paving-in-swindons-gateway-has-to-be-torn-up-and-relaid/Wellington Street is one of the main gateways into the town centre from Swindon’s railway station.
And work on it was a significant part of Swindon Borough Council’s attempts to give the area a bit of a facelift and make it more welcoming for visitors.
That work has been delayed through a combination of damaged water pipes under the road and the council’s contractors being asked to take-up and relay paving they’ve already put down, because the authority is not happy with what they have already done.
It means the work, which was meant to be finished by early next month, has been delayed significantly.
After the slight over-run outlined above, Wellington Street finally re-opened (without ceremony) last week.
It is excellent to see the old very uneven pavement replaced by something much safer.
