Your pictures: Potholes

A campaigner in West Yorkshire calling himself the Yellow Pimpernel ringed potholes in his area with yellow paint. Gordon Meldrum says things are just as bad in Letham, Angus.

Colin Williams says this pothole in the Wells area of Somerset measures 6 ft (1.8m) by 3 ft (91cm) by 5 ins (13cm) deep and caused £900 worth of damage to his car.

Studland Road in Alum Chine, Bournemouth, is more of a survival course than a public highway, according to Simon Bell. He says short-term repairs have proved ineffective.

This pot hole in Erray Road, Tobermory, Isle of Mull, is near a school and is extremely dangerous, says Marilyn Laverty. She claims there are lots of roads like this in the area.

Bill Thompson's daughter says she almost crashed her car on A809 in East Dunbartonshire, where this photo was taken. The speed limit here is 60mph.

This pothole is one of several outside Ajit Bavlecha's house in Sudeley Avenue, Leicester. He says the holes gather sharp objects like nails and screws which have punctured car tyres.

Nigel Crow hit this pothole in Wokingham travelling at 30mph causing £800 of damage to his car. He wrote off two alloy wheels and two tyres. The pothole is as deep as his ankle.

Peter Wright from Argyll sent a photo of a pothole on a single track road just south of Dalavich. He says this sort of damage to the road is not that uncommon in Argyll.
