Plotting pensioner paints potholes

3rd August 2009

We’re all for pothole militancy here at Potholes.co.uk. First it was the parish council that created a dossier of badly-maintained road crimes to shame its local road authority. Now a spray paint-wielding pensioner has turned pothole superhero, sneaking out in the dead of night to turn road craters in his village bright yellow.

This guy is a Potholes.co.uk hero!

His action group, The People’s Republic of East Wraxall, might be tongue-in-cheek, but the cause is worthy. Pothole Man’s bright yellow spray paint will not only warn drivers and cyclists of the impending danger on the village’s roads, but also shame the road authority into action.

True to style, the old boy is keeping his true identity under wraps, but surely there can’t be many people in Wraxall with bright yellow fingers???”
