I hit a pothole in this village and found out that the locals stop if they see a car coming in the opposite direction there are so many potholes ,and the council say there are not negligent. HA HA
In fact when someone tried to claim from this village the council stated that they would be considered to be Contributory Negligent not having reported the pothole as they lived in the villlage.To which the reply was " If I had spent from November to July
(this being the period between the incident and when the inspection was carried out)
reporting every pothole between Hinxworth and Ashwell,
I would'nt have much time to do any thing else.
They were counted later by the locals and they found 120
This is one story from the village mag where I hit a pothole
and the council believe they are not negligent.
