Locals have revealed that pot holes have finally been filled in by a council - after penises were mysteriously spray-painted around them. Workers turned up on the site in East Sussex where locals were fed up with dodging massive crumbling pits - but only after someone took direct action.
Now it has been confirmed that the holes in question have been filled in. Resident Helen Carr took the pictures and explained that instead of starting to repair the road initially road sweepers were sent to clear away the drawings.
Sussex Council said it had brought forward work which has been planned - but moaned it has put ‘additional pressure on our pothole repair crews’.
She said: “At lunchtime we then got the road sweeper going up and down about 30 times trying to scrub them out, but all he achieved was to make the edges of the holes crumble even more and tear up the road.” The direct action was taken on a road outside Uckfield College in East Sussex.
Now Helen confirmed: “It worked! Filler gang turned up this morning and filled a few.” Tina Aveyard said: “Looks like we should all rush out and buy a can of spray paint and get out and do all the potholes on our surrounding areas then!!!!”
Chris Whatford added: “Fastest way to get them fixed.” Other comments included “Drawn by the College’s A level art class? Still life.”
East Sussex County Council said: “We understand people’s concerns about potholes but this is not the way to address the situation.
“We’d urge people to report potholes directly to us so we can assess and arrange repairs. We are responsible for more than 2,000 miles of road and last year we repaired more than 24,000 potholes.
“We prioritise our work, according to locally approved policies, to ensure potholes that present the greatest danger to road users are repaired as quickly as possible.
“Using this approach, work was planned for Downsview Crescent but this was brought forward as a result of the graffiti, putting additional pressure on our pothole repair crews.
“People can find out how and when we repair potholes, and report potholes to us directly via our website at www.eastsussexhighways.com.”
