Loose stones from a pothole damaged our car - can we claim repair costs from the council?
A car recently drove over a pothole where the road has been breaking up and showered my husband's car with loose stones. It looks like the council had repaired the road a few times in the past and it's broken up again. My husband's car has damage to the paintwork on the bonnet and the windscreen has been damaged in several places. He has video footage of this happening. Can we claim repair cost from the council?
