True story. Many years ago my car alloy wheel and tyre was destroyed by a very deep pothole, it was late at night, I changed to the spare wheel and continued my journey home.

I contacted the council stating I would be claiming compensation. A few days later, at the weekend I went back to measure and photograph the hole, but bugger me, the council had come out and filled the fecker with a temporary repair.

Beast from the East blamed as pothole compensation claims double

Highways England has blamed the Beast from the East storm for the number of pothole compensation claims against it more than doubling in 2017/18.

There were 528 successful claims relating to vehicle damage caused by potholes last year, up from 212 in 2016/17 and 187 in 2015/16.

Over the same period, the cost to Highways England of settling the claims rose from £54,301 to £164,341.
The organisation said in a statement: "Safety is our top priority."

FFS - 165k, no wonder they don’t fix them if payouts only cost so little
