After persistent complaints from the community, Bromley Council finally repaired a large pothole in Coney Hall. Raise the Roofs London initially offered to fix it for free due to community support but hesitated because of potential legal issues with the council. The situation garnered significant attention online, prompting social media discussions which eventually led to the council addressing the pothole. The director of the roofing firm highlighted the power of social media in mobilizing local sentiments.
"We as a company offered to fix it free of charge and from that came a great deal of local support. Unfortunately, with fears of being sued by the council we were unable to assist."
"It's amazing what social media does. We said we'd fix the pothole on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the council was there."
