Authorities in Cornwall, England, are searching for a motorist who, out of frustration,
took it upon themselves to fill a troublesome pothole with cement. The road at Tanhouse
Road and Bodmin Hill in Lostwithiel had been officially closed in April due to drainage
issues causing road deterioration. After a month of inaction, an anonymous individual
decided to fix the pothole over a weekend in May, leading to a temporary reopening.
However, the Cornwall Council’s road repair company Cormac closed the road again as the work was not done officially.
Now, Cornwall Highways officials are on a quest to identify the person responsible for the unsanctioned repair.
The road was slated to remain closed until June 9th, as Cormac addressed a backlog of pothole repairs.
Colin Martin, Cornwall councilor for Lanreath and Lostwithiel, expressed frustration over the situation,
describing the pothole as a “perfect metaphor for the way that the
entire public sector is crumbling due to underinvestment.”
