"Rod Stewart: Videos prompts pothole DIY repair warning"

Rod Stewart has been warned not to shovel gravel into potholes on a rural road in Essex:

An Essex County Council cabinet member warned anyone attempting to repair a road could become liable for accidents.

Lee Scott, who is responsible for highways maintenance at the authority, said: "You can't take matters into your own hands.

"People must always report potholes to the council and we will fix anything that's dangerous."

He said: "All road repairs have to be done to a professional level or the person doing it could become liable for any problems or accidents".​

However:

Dominic Zarian from the area spent about £130 on car repairs after being unable to avoid "a massive crack" in the road, which he says he reported to the council four weeks ago.​

Apparently, residents need to be aware that only the local council are properly qualified to professionally and correctly not bother filling in the holes!
