We have the dubious pleasure of the gas mains being replaced over the next 5 zillion weeks. It was slated to start yesterday but I only saw one reflective jacket all day, and that was someone walking a dog.
Anyway, the gas board wrote to us all, and they are considering putting external meters in, which may involve disruption to one's front garden, which they will make good. (I can't remember the exact working but can get it if required). The will communicate with is about this with at least 5 days notice.
There are quite a lot of block paved fronts round here, and mine is fully paved but with proper flagstones.
I guess their obligation is just to fill the holes and tarmac over. If I am one of the lucky ones chosen for an outside meter, would I be better to carefully lift the necessary stones myself to avoid breakage, and just tell them to fill the hardcore and I'll re-lay the slabs?
And - next door has one of those moulded coverings that looks like block paving - cost him quite a bit IIRC - what's his position?
