Bailgate, Lincoln - Find a freedom of information request

I am writing with regard to the condition of the road through the Bail in Lincoln. Some time ago it was resurfaced with the old cobbles been replaced with Stone "tiles" the process was lengthy and disruptive. At the moment the surface is pitted with tarmac infills, temporary repairs, cracked tiles and uneven dipping surfaces particularly near drains etc.

5. Have there been subsequent larger scale repairs and what was the time scale from the initial work?
