I had to stop driving down a road near me because it was so bad the other day.
They've dug it up and started to re do it now

Luckily no damage to the car though.

I don't know if you have or not but send them photos of the hole and the damage to your car. Ask a soliciter if its worth chasing, won't cost you to ask.
Most local roads are the responsibility of the local council, manhole covers are the water boards responsibility.
i caught one doing 80 last night . and i no the feeling i fort my engine had fallen out. and i cant avoid them if i cant see them down a dark back road. as my headlights aint brilliant
You can claim it back from the councilnow all 4 of my alloys are damaged from all the pot holes and council wont do nothing about it
It just used to be the few of us with lowered cars who swerved all over streets etc avoiding potholes looking like lunatics.
Now most people don't look twice, it's that bad. What does that tell us about this country? :bang::bang::bang:

Scotland's the worse, country roads are smoother .
You're damn right it's not acceptable. Over 100 billion a year all over Britain and we still haven't got the safer A9 we should have had years ago.

You really do deserve everything you get.
As for alloys and potholes, it's been well known over the years that alloys can't cope very well with potholes. Most alloys tend to be made with the supports spreading out from the middle of the wheel towards the outside edge, leaving the inside of the wheel without any support so a typical cross section would look like [ whereas a normal wheel's cross section tends to be I
