Path works

I spotted orange paint markers on both splitters at either end of Vale Road on Wednesday. On Thursday we had a yellow-jacket with a survey wand waving it about while standing at the edge of the road (a breach of H&S?). Today we had two y-js standing on the one at the entrance looking around and five at the top congregating on the library side of the bridge.

It's like a joke - how many yellow-jackets does it take to survey a site - five; two to make the measurements, one to write them down, one to point, and one to organise it ;-)

[Update 4/3 - Forgot to mention they'd started work on the lowest one on Monday, vaguely amusing as they've extended the barriers out into Vale Road physically delineating the section between lane 1 and lane 2 with a barrier too high to see over from inside a car (mine at any rate) amazingly this hasn't caused traffic in town to grind to a halt (Gilgal's still managing that on it's own) thus mildly supporting my suggestion that the splitter base be extended out to encourage traffic to stay in their own lane before trying to cross.]
