00:00 The potholes in Leeds are currently absolutely appalling.
00:02 I put a new set of tyres on my car the other week
00:06 and literally went over a pothole and then had to replace one of them already.
00:09 So I'd love the council to get on it and actually start doing them
00:13 but I think they've got such a backlog
00:15 because originally the ground was laid so rubbishly
00:18 that it's disintegrating, hence why we're getting all these potholes.
00:21 I'm from Rothwell, which is a sub-district of Leeds
00:23 and it's got to be one of the worst places in the Leeds area for potholes.
00:28 They really are shocking and they do need sorting out sooner rather than later.
00:33 I've just got to be lucky enough to get a new car.
00:36 I wouldn't drive it down certain roads in Rothwell.
00:39 It really annoys me about how many potholes there are in the city.
00:43 In Hebden Bridge, Main Street, Market Street was completely covered in them
00:48 and they got complained about enough, the council decided to do something.
00:52 No, the reason why they were doing it was because it was causing damage to the underneath of cars
00:55 so that many people complained about the damage.
00:57 That's the only reason why they do it.
