Same with pavements. CEC has been pretty keen on going the whole hog replacing them when there's no apparent need.

Outside my old house in Halmyre Street (and various nearby streets) was totally redone much to the surprise of those that lived there.

More recently Lochend Road pavements have been totally rebuilt. It wasn't perfect but it wouldn't take long to find other pavements or roads where the money would have been better spent.

As for muck ups there's no better example than the sort of pedestrianised section of Elm Row. Redone for the trams it's already been dug up numerous times and there's two big sections being done just now, again. And that doesn't take into account at least 75% of the slabs at the edge of the pavement are broken or moving.
At the top of my street there was a textured slab (textured for blind pedestrians i believe) badly laid not flush so it created a permanent brutal trip hazard right next to a busy road. I reported it on the council website and when i went up there a few days later it had already been fixed. So there are some good examples of council responsiveness as well.
