Leader of Bucks County Council hits pothole: £2,100 damage
The leader of Bucks County Council has come a cropper on one of the county's potholes.
David Shakespeare's BMW needed two new wheels costing over 2,100 when he hit a pothole near Beaconsfield on his way home.
He said: "I have hit a pothole like many other people.
"We knew that when the snow melted there would be potholes. Nobody goes ahead of me filling in the potholes and we pursued this one with urgency.
"I asked them to increase the amount of money that goes into potholes on the Monday and suffered the damage on my way home on the same day.
"I released the money before the damage was done.
"I don't know whether the Bucks County Council insurance company will pay the claim, but when I have got the bills I will see."
