Are the roads in your area in disrepair?

Pothole on a London street
Here is the kind of pothole the Yellow Pimpernel would have circled
The state of the roads in West Yorkshire became too much to bear for one man, who became known as the Yellow Pimpernel.

Brian Hollingsworth, who is a preacher, trekked the streets armed with a can of yellow spray paint and circled any dangerous cracks or crumbling potholes he came acrosss.

Soon afterwards, the council filled them in but denied it was because of Mr Hollingsworth's campaign, which it called selfish and irresponsible.
