‘Not my job, mate!’ Residents mock gas company over ‘petty’ paint job

A half-finished paint job on a Kent road has been described as a perfect example of “not my job, mate” culture.

Gas company SGN has been carrying out works in Dover Road and New Street in Sandwich throughout the summer.

The network upgrades are now finally complete - but that is more than can be said for the repainting of a 20mph marking near the Malcolm Waite petrol station.

SGN workers have only put a fresh coat of white on the sections of the road they had to dig up, leaving glaring gaps.

A spokesman for the gas company says it is “responsible for reinstating the areas we’ve disturbed”.
