Round About Conisboro’ – Tar Spraying
Since the new tar-spraying machine was delivered good progress has been made with the spraying of our streets.
Already Station Road, High Street, Church Street. Park Road, and the more level part of New Hill have all been sprayed at a total cost of £211.
The area is about 10,793 square yards and this works out at about 4 ½ d. per yard, which our surveyor considers to be a fairly reasonable rate.
