I went over a pothole and it shredded my tyre, i went back to take photos and i was taking them someone else went over it and blew their tyre aswell. Everyone said dont bother claiming as you wont get anywhere but all you have to do is take your photos for evidence. You then need to apply for freedom of information i think its called to see if the council was aware of the pothole andhow the road had been maintained. With my pothole they were aware of it and it was already scheuduled to be filled in. I then wrote them a letter saying ive blew my tyre, you was awsre of the hole, heres my bill. They then wrote me a letter back saying its been passed to there claims department then 2 weeks later i got a cheque in the post. Well please with myself.
