A driver in Hucknall has hit out at the state of the roads in Nottinghamshire after claiming a pothole destroyed one of his front tyres. At around 5.50pm on March 4, Andrew Sheeran, 52, was travelling along Portland Road in Hucknall to pick his partner up from work in the town.
The Hucknall motorist, who works as a bus driver, says he hit two potholes by Kings Catch fish bar in his blue 2013 Seat Toledo within 15-20 metres of each other, one of which damaged and punctured one of the front tyres. He called the AA to have a new tyre fitted.
A Mansfield motorist has also blasted potholes in Nottinghamshire after his tyre ripped and his alloy wheel was smashed. Mark Hills, 50, had to change his tyre in the pouring rain at the side of the road.
