Illogical Winter Works Continue

Why is it that roads are chosen to be resurfaced when the condition of the road didn't warrant such works? Furthermore, should the works really be warranted, why wait until winter when it causes the local residents the most amount of inconvenience?

Is it due to excessive personal expenditure over the summer period on holiday houses on the south coast of Turkey or is it the cost of sending their children to foreign countires to learn English that clouds the minds of decision makers in determining when a project get's the green light.

Whatever the reason may be, i'm sure that the friends submitting the tender for works have adequate mechanisims to enable the decision makers to once again consider the forthcoming summer holidays!
