One local resident helpfully points out that its not actually the first time this has happened, identifying the fact that this particular pothole is bit of a health and safety risk, one that surely Surrey County Council should prioritise and fill in? He goes on to state that 'everyone knows that you are going to get this around this time of year', so it's no wonder that the council in Surrey have paid out more in damage to cars that any other in the UK, over £600k in the last two years. Tsk.
