A taxi driver was left with a £500 repair bill after hitting a road defect - and he's furious.
Midlands cabbie is hundreds of pounds out of pocket after having to buy a replacement wheel for his Audi.
Ahmmar Mahmud was left with the repair bill alongside another driver who hit the SAME pothole.
Mr Mahmud had to replace an alloy wheel and tyre which were damaged by the road defect - two weeks after he reported it to Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
Now he is lodging a compensation claim with the council, according to StokeonTrentLive.
Businessman Mohammed Safir says he has also fallen victim to the potholes on the corner of Plex Street and Nash Peake Street, in Tunstall. He was left with a big crack in his tyre and a repair bill of up to £800.
Ahmmar says the carriageway is affected by lorries going to and from recycling firm SJ Walchester, on Nash Peake Street. He says his taxi is constantly covered in dust.
Councillors recently approved plans for a waste storage building, two portable buildings, a three-metre high concrete boundary wall and car parking at the site.
