In Cornwall, a frustrated driver took it upon themselves to fix a large pothole on Tanhouse Road after months of delays by local authorities. Using concrete, the driver filled the pothole, briefly reopening the road. However, Cornwall Council’s maintenance company, Cormac, quickly shut it down, stating the repair was unauthorized. The council has launched an investigation into the matter, citing safety concerns. With limited funds for road repairs, Cornwall Council faces criticism for delays, and the incident highlights the tension between citizens’ initiatives and official procedures in maintaining public infrastructure.
