Fed up with tyre/wheel damage when travelling in Kent! See this post from online there are MANY fuming drivers who are fed up trying to swerve potholes. We dont feel we are listened to by the Highways Depts https://m.facebook.com/groups/1985516615056294?view=permalink&id=2024509001157055

We are looking like drunk drivers as we try to swerve potholes now! There will be bad accidents soon..seen near misses as we try avoid thr holes and 'scabbing' where top layer of road surface has worn away. More notice needs to be taken of BAD holes.
