A man who filled in a large pothole outside his home after waiting weeks for the council to fix it was stunned to see council workers out an hour later - digging out his repair.
Paul Jackson used two bags of concrete to fill a 20cm deep pothole outside his home weeks after it was reported to the council, and with no sign of anyone being sent to fix it. But an hour after filling in the hole, Paul says a team from the council were on site digging out the concrete he had just laid, reports DevonLive.
The workers then fixed the hole properly, along with a few others in the area. Paul said: "It shouldn’t be down to us to fill in our own potholes. At what point does it become a safety concern for cyclists, motorbikes and damage to vehicles? The council/ highways are a joke.
