Oh yeah I shouldve said before - Like Dukerob said get loads of photos if you can before you put your initial complaint in to the council or the next time you see the pothole it will have been magically repaired and they'll deny all knowledge. Take a ruler along and photograph it showing the depth of the hole and also how far it is from the edge of the road. One thing they tried with me was to say that the pothole was actually the side of the road so I wasnt actually driving on the road - when I showed them the photo of the pothole a foot in from the side of the road they soon shut up. I know it seems like hassle but if you save yourself a 500 quid bill for 1/2 hours work and 4 or 5 photos then it's gotta be worth it.... |
