It has taken nearly 5 months but I am finally getting the £91 back that it cost me to get a new tyre after a pothole knackered it

Fair play. A pothole bent my alloy and knackered my tyre but the council wouldnt pay out because apparently they inspected the road 12 months before and no one had reported potholes since so it couldnt be them at fault.. 😂 Biggest kop out ever. The road was an absolute disgrace

I ended up having to do one report advising them where the pothole was, and then a separate report for the actual tyre claim

 

It probably helped that I went back the same day with a tape measure and got photos showing how deep it was!
