That's one way to do it 😭⁠
⁠
Back in 2023, a mystery road worker took matters into his own hands after a huge pothole near Lostwithiel, Cornwall, had reportedly left the road closed for more than a month.⁠
⁠
The man later said he spent around seven hours and £1,000 of his own money filling the roughly 10ft crater with concrete, temporarily allowing the road to reopen. However, Cornwall Highways said the work had been carried out “without consent” and the road was closed again until an official repair could be completed.⁠
⁠
The road was eventually properly repaired and reopened weeks later, after the story gained national attention.⁠
