was driving home on monday night and clipped a pothole, it went with a right thump, didnt think much about it until today as iv been off work all week.
however on the way round the m60 today i had a massive vibration from the front, checked it in work, and omg you should see how buckled the rim is, anyways got me mate on front desk to do me a repair estimate includin new wheel and tyre, new ball joint and alignment adjustments.
gave the council a ring and have been out and taken pictures of said crater in the road, hopefully they should get back to me tomoz about picking up the bill
you reckon i'll get a cheque or they just pay lexus

I think different council have different policy...

Hope you get it sorted, some roads are so bad and i guess with winter coming they can only get worse.

it will be a mission to get them to pay, as you will have to prove the damage was caused by the pot hole
