James Coxall, a carpenter from Castle Camps, drew attention to a neglected pothole with a creative display using his child's outgrown jeans and shoes. After experiencing frequent accidents with his vehicle due to the pothole, he crafted a humorous scene resembling a person caught in the pothole to prompt local authorities to act. His initiative attracted significant social media attention, leading to the county finally repairing the pothole after extensive delays and complaints from residents. Coxall’s effort illustrates how creative solutions can mobilize community responses to ongoing infrastructure issues.
Coxall's unique method to draw attention involved using children’s jeans and shoes in a creative display, humorously representing a person stuck in the pothole.
This artistic approach not only entertained locals but also succeeded in garnering attention, prompting the local council to finally repair the long-neglected pothole.
