Plenty of people commit fraud, I doubt whether the council would cough up £100 for everyone who claims that they have a scuff on an alloy from one of the potholes.
Am I wrong in my thinking on this ?
I got £1100.00 from the council Due to damaged front curb side wheel on the M6, it was on the "heads of the Vally" road at night and a man-whole-cover was missing, caught out a couple of us. They wanted the dealership to examine and fit the new wheel/tyre
It cost them the £1100.00.
