(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) Mark Morell has become so frustrated with the potholes that he is now cooking pot noodles in them to demonstrate the severity of the issue. He has partnered with a noodle brand to try and get the Government to take action. His previous attempts to draw attention to the issue, such as floating rubber ducks and feeding potholes cake on their birthday, were unsuccessful. The 2023 Spring Budget allocated £200m for road repairs, but estimates suggest it would take £14bn to restore the roads in England & Wales. Determined to make a change, Mark, also known as Mr Pothole, has come up with new ideas to bring attention to the pothole crisis. He stated, 'Potholes drive road users potty and me more than most.' Experts suggest that changes in temperature have exacerbated the situation.

Dazie Warne encountered a water-filled pothole in Ashford, Kent, on New Year's Eve, damaging both the front and back tyre of one side of her car. She was not alone in her experience as three other drivers pulled into the tyre garage at the same time after encountering the same pothole.
