"It had been finished well and was looking really good – now they've come in and started digging it all up again. I couldn't believe it. Why didn't they do this at the same time," he said.
A spokesman for 24Seven said the work was being carried out by a contractor because of fears that a cable was leaking.
He said 33,000 volt cables were filled with oil, and one of these was believed to be leaking.
Three holes were being dug in the road to try to find the leak and insert a new piece of cable as a preventative measure.
