OUR inbox has been flooded with pothole complaints throughout the winter. 

But it turns out we're not the only patch with problem potholes. 

Our sister title The Swindon Advertiser reported today one man has taken to filling potholes with creepy doll heads in an attempt to make the council aware of the problem. 

Dad-of-three Neville Daytona told the Swindon Advertiser: “The roads are disgusting. Everyone’s moaning about it.

“So I thought I’d do something amusing about it.

“It’s childish, it’s clean humour and it’s just funny.

“If it makes someone smile it’s worth it.”

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have helped the problem as the pothole has now been fenced off together with one lane of the road, forcing traffic to slow down. 

Neville is not the only 'pothole warrior'. 

He took inspiration from a man in Lancashire who decided to draw penis graffiti around potholes in his area. 

The mystery 'artist' made national headlines in 2015 and has since set up a Facebook and Instagram page depicting his 'work'.

We can't repeat the name here but it rhymes with Banksy. 

Speaking at the time, Bury Council said: "Painting obscenities around potholes will not get them repaired any quicker, but simply waste valuable time and resources."

There's lots of potholes near me, what should I do?

The easiest thing to do is report it to the council as they can only fill them in if they know about them. 

Alternatively you could report it to Fillthathole.org.uk. 

The website was set up more than 10 years ago as a way of reporting hazards.

The site suggests you should FillThatHole if you would like the report to be public so others can see that the pothole has been reported, you want to report the hazard anonymously and you would like to contribute it to a national database of potholes.

But it does add to report it to the highway authority’s site first if 'you want the hole fixed particularly quickly as FillThatHole may introduce a slight delay before the report gets into the highway authority’s system'.
