quote: Yeah this is true- they'll only do it for roads deemed "eligible" and will fill them up but there has to be *I think* three or more complaints about said road, including evidence of damage and receipts for any repair ie: alloy wheel refurbishment. Then they'll take it from there and decide whether to compensate you and/or just fill the hole. I did this with my first set of alloy wheels a good six years ago now and the council couldn't compensate me but the hole was filled in eventually :thumbs: JILL :wave: | |

putting the paper next to the hole will also give any solicitor or who ever you might speak to a better indication as of the size of the hole/ reprasentative of scale ( no rudeness please people ), just reminds me of angelina jolie in the bone collector :rolleyes: ahhh bisto! Like to see a council scaff try and even get close to fillin her in! | |

First thing is to go back there and take pictures before they can fill the hole up. If you buy a morning paper also, photgraph this next to the hole to prove the date. | |
