A pensioner who filled a pothole himself after becoming fed up of waiting for the council has said he will fight the “injustice” after being fined.
Claudio Trenta, 72, decided to fill a hole on a pedestrian crossing with cold bitumen in the small town of Barlassina in Lombardy, northern Italy.
And he was furious to receive a fine of almost £800 for his efforts at road repair.
