The wet weather in Britain has exacerbated the issue of potholes on the country's roads, with an estimated one million potholes causing problems. Potholes rank among the top three concerns for MPs and councillors, according to Highway and Pothole Expert Dave Gaster. National Highways' approach to the Stonehenge tunnel project is criticized as insufficient, likened to a cost-saving measure that compromises the project's effectiveness. In Somerset, elderly residents Bill and Sheila Nicholls were asked by the council to fill the numerous potholes on their road themselves, highlighting the severity of the problem. A community potholes campaign has attracted thousands of participants, underscoring the widespread impact of the issue.
