I am disappointed that the DCC media release quoting Dr. Hazelton claims that  “As with any significant construction project, some minor repairs are needed in the first year following its completion and a few issues have been identified that need our attention”.

A brand new set of pavers in George street should last for many years if not decades and should not require ‘minor repairs’ in the first year in my view. I can’t imagine the Romans tolerating paver replacement after only one year!

The DCC statement also fails to make clear who is paying for paver replacement work in a variety of areas which I believe should be paid for under warranty by Isaacs who were the lead contractor.
