Vigilantes have spray-painted the F-word next to a giant pothole on a busy road to warn motorists. The road safety avengers - known as the ‘Rocks and Pothole Raiders’ - have taken matters into their own hands on Shelton New Road in Stoke by highlighting two crumbling craters on the stretch between Hartshill and Cliffe Vale.
They have taken the action after accusing Stoke-on-Trent City Council of doing nothing. They say the potholes are damaging motorists' vehicles.
One of the vigilantes told StokeonTrentLive: “We are sick to death of the council doing nothing about these potholes. It’s a joke. These potholes are dangerous - people have burst God knows how many tyres and they’re left with a cost that the council won’t reimburse.
