I have a claim going through my local council for damage caused by a pot hole that my wife hit when swerving to miss a gang of lycra loonies (if I rode my Norton to work like they ride their cycles I would be arrested) They have pulled the usual legal reply saying that the road is annually inspected and I can't challenge the inspection periodicity. etc etc. So what to do, check Google maps.
The reply sent does challenge the road inspection in that the persons responsible have not conducted the inspection and have falsified council documentation.
The road was starting to fail in 2011, shows no repairs since 2011 in the photos I took May this year that could have subsequently failed, and I also found out that if you close the Google maps side bar on the left side a small box appears which you can move the cursor to previous image captures of the section of highway, it did not look much better in 2009.
I bet they still try and deny it, if they do then it is to the small claims court for them.
