I now have fame and fortune, minus the fortune, after my masked face appeared on television.

Yesterday I appeared on Channel 5’s Pothole Britain to highlight the plight of the district’s motorists.

Cavernous carriageway craters cause concern countrywide among all road users and I felt it my duty to represent our corner of England.

My appearance was brief but hopefully sent the message as to why problem potholes so perturb people.

The programme is available to watch on the channel’s website and I would urge you to pay attention to the first two minutes especially.

Let people know about ruinous road ruts that affect you by tweeting me @pothole_man or calling the news desk on 01992 57 22 85
