I have taken pics, and sent them with a letter to the council, the hole was 6" deep!
They promised to send me a form but that was a month ago keep on at them about it,
They were on my scoob, I put the standard suspension back on it yesterday, now it looks really stupid like a beach buggy lol
It also damaged one of the front coilovers, but not as bad
Not happy

The roads are terrible. It's like a slalom when driving to avoid the worst of them! I guess only when it costs the councils more for compensation than it does to repair the roads they'll continue to get worse.
Hope you get it sorted
