[Closed] Pothole damage - anyone successfully claimed?

We had a pothole here in Norfolk that due to poor repairs would open every year, it was so bad in February and elderly cyclist broke his leg and locals placed two car tyres in it to lessen the blow, it was that big, council knocked back claim, but he got statements from local residents as to the number of times they had reported it and the poor repairs done each time were documented and took it to Court and won

I’ve had wheels wrecked by potholes, but unfortunately I either couldn’t attribute it to a specific hole, or had the same boilerplate reply that sharkbait received, and got nowhere.

Would you have seen it if you had used main beams?

Yes! If I'd had those new fangled see-under-water-round-corners-daylight-enhancing LEDs. Most definitely.

Thst's the kicker - if it got reported and not repaired, the game's afoot! 🙂

If it had been bigger than a horse do you think you would have seen it?

Seriously, try claiming. Councils try to make it hard to dissuade people, however, if you have some evidence and stand your ground...

Not nice to see the victim blaming here.

Anyway....

We have a pot hole at the bottom of our close.

Routinely gets filled a couple of times a year, reappears within days each time.

It's almost like an old friend now.

I did, I simply summarised encouraging you to do so with evidence.

One of these should get the sand out.

I posted up about claiming for an Alpha rim that got damaged in a rain-filled pothole a few years ago.

I got way more flaming than Dezb! The riding Gods were out in force that day.

I just noticed the dates oops!😳
Oh and I missed the post where Debs claimed ( I’m gonna blame the ads!)

@ DezB - well done you! 😉
