Cheers Hippy, got no witnesses as it it was fairly late. But can get the rest. Took a photo at the time. Reckon it’s 3-4 inches deep small but just enough to stop a front wheel at the wrong angle.
Tonts-
Not sure if I used any witnesses anyway just thought I'd suggest it in case they turned out to be useful to your case later on. Go back and take photos with something for scale if you can. Show the hole with ruler in it, foot in it whatever and also show it in a wider shot with the position on the road, etc.
hippy
Yeah.
Get photos of the pothole (I took a ruler and used it and my feet for scale and depth). Then get onto google and see if you can find evidence that it's been there a while - you can use a little date slider thing to find older pictures of the same location.
If you can find evidence it's been there for more than say 3-6 months you might be in with a chance. It depends on the road though - different roads have different requirements for inspection frequency.
Start taking details or any witnesses and start totting up any damage costs too.
