Colin if you look at the post I've linked to below you'll probably be able to work out that on the current schedule works are due to finish at the end of the coming week. There seem to be a number of works still to finish if you look at the plan attached to the original post.<br />
<br />
You'll also see the contact info for the guy who's managing the project.

Agree GB entirely. They can't really be serious that they've finished this resurfacing works! And there's a hole threatening to open up in Wightman Road (opp Hampden); drain slowly collapsing I suspect.

Having cycled the length of Wightman today I'm surprised to read that resurfacing is complete. The southern end's much better, but (heading north) on the downhill stretch from St Paul's Church to Falkland/Fairfax roads there are still plenty of small to medium potholes that could be pretty hairy for cyclists. Notably worse than pre-big freeze, imho.

And again, Hugh, thanks for asking the question. Highways, Haley and Haringey's Frontline have for years had a very curious pitch-and-patch approach to mending Wightman, and I suppose every other road east of the railway.<br />

And again, Hugh, thanks for asking the question. Highways, Haley and Haringey's Frontline have for years had a very curious pitch-and-patch approach to mending Wightman, and I suppose every other road east of the railway.<br />

They redid the pavements from Turnpike to Effingham in 2008 "on the word of their roads engineer" (according to Haley) when even or especially a blind man could see that it was the pavements from the Rlwy Bridge to Hewitt that were crying out for some bitmac and restructuring.<br />
<br />
In December last they announced the repair of pavements from Atterbury to Mattison, leaving the middle section untouched for another year - once again ignoring the thirty signatures (including Karen's) I handed in in response to their "3 priorities Consultation" of September 2007. After two months' "work" they've patched the pavements opposite Jewson, by St Paul's, a bit of Burgoyne and a few metres by the Tapas Bar.<br />
<br />
The road resurfacing, as you say, stops short at Pemberton - leaving the obviously deteriorating surface from Pemberton to Effingham to absorb all the frost of another hard winter, but they'll cross that bridge no doubt when it falls apart.<br />
<br />
Is this how they do it in Muswell Hill and Highgate?
