not the council for the following reasons!

1) they look to be doing something out side the van
2) they look to be doing something other than standing looking at the hole n the road
3) there are not 40 million cones to navigate round 1 person
4) they are doing something!!!!

its prob the local pikeys digging up all the metal works in the town at night making it look kile (badly i may add as they are doing something) council workers!
