The square stones have been tarmacked over in straight and diagonal lines.

It is outside Turner Contemporary in Margate, Kent.

The work was carried out by UK Power Network, as reported on What’s The Jam.

But Labour councillor Rob Yates fumed at the company: “Please can you come back to Margate and do the job properly.

“This is directly outside of Turner Contemporary art gallery.

“Have some respect.”

Gavin Marten (corr) added: “It really isn’t hard to number the stones when lifted to place back after works are completed.

“However, I bet the stones have been skipped.

“Good luck on them finding identical weathered stones.”

A UK Power Network spokesperson said: “This is just a temporary fix.

“We are awaiting a permit and we also need to ensure we have all the correct materials before we can proceed.”
