The luxury granite paving stones laid just last year were removed for utility work and replaced with temporary tarmac, sparking widespread public dissatisfaction. The granite slabs outside Birmingham Council House, once a showcase of refined urban design, were dug up by National Grid workers and have yet to be reinstated.
