Edinburgh locals have reacted to a massive pothole that has formed right outside Edinburgh council's headquarters.
The local government offices are located just off the Royal Mile on East Market Street with the crater appearing just between the council base and the Premier Inn.
At the start of last year, 2022 from January 1 to March 31, it was revealed in an FOI that maintenance crews filled in more than 7,000 potholes in the city. In the same report it also revealed the worst Edinburgh roads for road defects included Greendykes Road, Long Dalmahoy Road and Queensferry Street.
