If I fix a pothole on a minor road, with sturdy tarmac, and leave it safe to drive on, is it wrong?.

I was getting tired of garage visits to fix the car. Council move at a glacier pace to fix potholes so, why not.

I suspect there's some legislation to prevent you doing it but I don't see why not.

somewhere in the sticks

I read somewhere in Kent residents have started to plant flowers in potholes as the Council don't repair them...

I don't think you'r breaking any law, but it wouldn't meet their requirements as an acceptable repair, but who gives a toss if it works for you?

Most likely outcome is you will be held liable for the road area and will get a bill from the council to repair your repair, so don't tell anyone

People were filling them with sand bags in the lanes here after loads of cars got ruined. Only now just starting to fix them.

Just keep quiet about who did it

Go all Wanksy and spray paint cocks over them. That should speed the process up.*

Dont let it be known you repaired it as you will be held liabil so dont be looking for pats on the back...

The same when you clear snow or ice away from a footpath and someone falls its your fault but if you dont touch it and someone falls its an act of god.. The imaginary man in the sky...
