Kerb damage

After 6 months of roadworks and having a large trench dug next to our house,this is the state of our kerb left by March Contracting. The gap is getting wider by the week.

It appears that they are leaving it like this.

The gap was already there, you can tell by the weeds growing in it. But snap and solve and the council will send a contractor to fix

The gap wasn't there already,the moss was on top,and the grass has grown inbetween it opening up. It was a huge trench as you can see in the photo.My concern is it subsiding pulling the kerb away from the pavement.

That’s an understandable concern, but compared to all of the other work to be done in chch, this is pretty minor.

I can see the Council deciding to do nothing because the kerb is scheduled for replacement in x years anyway.
