The reason why they use these surfacings is because it's a hell of a lot cheaper than a resurface and when done properly, works well.
We used to do road surveys for Richmond and one of the engineers who we were doing the work for told us it can save upto £100 a metre!! Problem is it seems they haven't done it right where you are!
As I said on FB, speaking from experience, it is like getting blood out of a stone claiming from the council. I tried claiming for a buggered shock when I hit a pothole that was 23cm deep (it was dark and had rained hard so filled with water and just looked like a puddle). They admitted they knew of the fault but they refused to pay out because they have to be allowed a reasonable time to repair it!
