Morrisons Utilities recently did some hydrant repairs on a tarmac
footpath opposite my home, involving lots of digging and probably
replacement of the hydrant, in front of someone's drive.

On completion, they filled the hole, tarmaced and took away the bulk of
the mess remaining, but left the path covered in mud and a drain piled
with soil. Don't they have a responsibility to clean up after
themselves any more?
