I'm taking the opportunity to write again with regard to the comments regarding Balfour Beatty's road closures in Calne recently. They still seem to be a bad choice of contractor for the upkeep of Wiltshire. I must say I've never seen it look so bad since they took over. Wiltshire Council should have kept its own staff and done a better job.

The dual carriageway into Devizes by Hopton Park left much to be desired and caused sustained damage to my car during resurfacing.

I sent a claim to Balfour Beatty but never got an answer or refund of costs in spite of putting in a claim. Rude/arrogant, call it what you like, they are only interested in taking your money.

They resurfaced the street in Yatesbury last December and left a house at the top with their own lake outside their gates, ditches blocked and piles of dirt on the verges.

When I phoned County Hall to complain I was told someone would phone me back to talk about the mess and areas they had ruined with their vans. I am still waiting for a return call from Wiltshire Council. But then maybe the person concerned hasn't got the message yet as they are always experiencing high call volume. Still, we can live in hope!

Mr LA Pocock, The Lymers, Yatesbury.
