Presumably the thinking is that they don't know to what standard the repair has been done. And the council will be liable for compensation that is not covered by insurance should anyone suffer a loss as a result of it failing in any way (e.g. a stone coming off it injuring someone).

What we need is the job done properly in the first place with proper kerbs and drainage
