pity West Sussex doesn't subscribe, either to youtube, or to repairing potholes  :censored:

I think they consider them as traffic calming measures !

Brilliant! As a driver who had a suspension collapse at low speed over a pot hole, i'm minded to forward this to Walsall Council... :)

That machine wouldn't help us..
I'm in a battle with Norfolk CC , a couple of years back they cut a new gap in the verge into a ditch throwing the soil into the ditch. Unfortunately across under the road is a pipe from a ditch alongside my garden. So now that ditch won't drain.

They came and claimed to have fixed it.
But they didn't go down far enough to clear the pipe, and they left a pile of earth blocking even that ditch from training properly.
So I've had to raise another complaint.
