ONE MAN CRUSHES COUNCIL IN POTHOLE WAR USING FORGOTTEN LAW!
Retired 68-year-old Derek Bennett took on lazy Hertfordshire County Council after they ignored dangerous potholes ruining roads in Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead.
Using obscure Section 56 of the Highways Act 1980, he served legal notices, then dragged them to court when they failed to act.
Judge at St Albans Crown Court ordered the council to fix THREE major roads within 20 days and awarded Bennett £1,650 costs.
“If everyone did this, we’d have lovely roads within six months,” he said.
Absolute legend just exposed how useless councils really are!
