Happenings on our street

This is our street on Monday...

...and on Tuesday...
Not quite the same spot but close to it. The street we live on has been slowly deteriorating over the last few years, there are a few patches with tarmac but not many. On Tuesday a digger arrived to start digging up the road to repair it, by Thursday work had stopped because some of the locals don't want to pay for the stretch in front of their house. Typically the government pays 60% and the locals pay the rest and it depends on how much road frontage you have as to how much you pay. The road is now impassable by car or bus and any house with a car won't be using their car much in the next few months if it was parked at home on Tuesday. No one seems to deterred in fact the digger is quite good entertainment, you can see the crowd of people standing around watching well before the digger.
