THE long-awaited upgrade on West Blackhall Street has begun, and the first section was made available recently.

I went along and was astonished at how shabby the finished article was.

Expensive materials, chipped but laid, works around manholes and other services disgraceful.

When using these materials they should be laid to a line, not as can be seen in several locations.

One wonders who from Inverclyde Council has signed off the works as satisfactory.

Upgrade?
