Twenty-one roads in South Gloucestershire have been resurfaced with a defective material. The new surface is now starting to strip off and in some places even leave holes.
According to South Gloucestershire Council the Micro Asphalt surfacing mix used was not suitable. The contractors responsible for carrying out the work chose the material, not the council.
The council and the contractors are now working together to find out the cause of the issue and take action. They have not yet confirmed what that action will be, or if and when repairs will be carried out.
