Roy Scammell, Newport Borough Councillor, complains that contractors repairing gas and water pipes and electricity cables in Newport are too slow and not returning the paving to a suitable standard.
He is also concerned about a hole, one foot across and two feet deep, which has appeared in St Mary's Street.
In 2010 hundres of thousands of pounds were spent on the paving in Newport and the Town Council paid to have the paving cleaned.
Councillor Scammell said: “I am fed up with the contractors that come here and do the work and don’t put it back in the standard they found it. The slabs outside Henshalls in High Street are chipped, as are the ones outside Boughey Tennis Club".
Roy states that it is up to the Borough Council to put pressure on the contractors as they are the responsible council.
