Neighbours on a Nottinghamshire street have complained about repair work on a number of potholes, saying they thought speed bumps had been installed. Some residents said they had seen motorists actively avoid tarmac that had been used to fix the deteriorating surface at Kiddier Avenue's junction with Rolleston Drive in Arnold.
Nottinghamshire County Council said workers would be returning to the road to make a "permanent large-scale patch repair". Stuart Cobb, 42, who lives on Kiddier Avenue, said he was "gobsmacked" to see the road after the repairs were carried out on Wednesday (March 8).
"I came back in the evening and what I thought to be a speed bump turned out to be a botched up repair," he told Nottinghamshire Live. "I was gobsmacked - it's like they didn't know how to do it, they got it so wrong.
