“Horrible sloppy repair. The drawings didn’t look sloppy”

Jo Caveney commented “this is brilliant” and Andrew Hayes agreed, saying “What an excellent idea to get potholes sorted quickly!!!”
Kosta Constantinou said “They’ll probably be sorted in the morning now’ and they were.
Malanie Coleman was delighted with the result, saying: “The willies were on Facebook last night and lo and behold – today sorted! I am gonna paint ‘em at end of our road now.”
More than one person, though, pointed out that the quality of the repair was pretty basic. Gordon Britton gloomily predicted: “Those repairs won’t last 6 months.”
Nevertheless, the idea spread far and wide, with a commenter from the US, Dawn Dailey, chipping in: “Hello, from Washington State, in the US! I love this idea, we should totally mirror this idea!”
The idea isn’t altogether new. Guerrilla pothole vigilante Wanksy has been ‘c***ing up‘ the potholes of Greater Manchester for years.
Wanksy says: “I highlight dangerous potholes by turning them into temporary works of art, making them more visible and prompting the council to repair them.”
Works of art might be a slightly over-generous interpretation of the tarmac speed-cocks, but they’re certainly effective.
Daily Star online has contacted Middlesborough Council for a comment.
