An Edinburgh driver who says he had to spend hundreds of pounds getting new tyres fitted after going over potholes now plans to claim compensation from the council.
The capital's pothole problem has worsened over recent weeks amid harsh winter weather, with the local authority inundated with complaints.
The West End has been highlighted as being among the worst affected, where a cyclist became so concerned that he placed a traffic cone in a huge pothole he claimed could "cause serious injury if not death".
