Laying setts in The Gill



Skip to 1 minute 20 seconds to see skilled workers producing an excellent result.

Can we ever expect the county council to ensure workmanship of this quality and speed?

Can you imagine the contractors authorised by them to work in this way?

I'm sure that the use of setts is being totally mismanaged.

Don't we have many skilled drystone wallers who could do this work well and quickly?

The quick judgement in choosing the right sett to fit in will produce a secure surface that will bind together and last for years and give years of enjoyment too. Partially sighted people can enjoy the adventure of traversing a textured surface that can be relatively hazard free. Let's live a little!

Hi Geoff,

My name is Helen and I'm the business editor as well as a news reporter at the Westmorland Gazette. It's good to see someone keeping right in touch with the issues faced in the South Lakes.

If you have an issue you feel needs to be raised, concerning Ulverston or South Cumbria, I'd really like you to get in touch.

My email is helen.perkins@kendal.newsquest.co.uk.

All the best and great blog! I stumbled across it while researching a business story.
