Potholes in Dover spray painted with rude images of penises

A series of potholes in Dover have been spray-painted with rather rude images in a creative ploy to highlight the issue.

Bright blue images of penises were spotted in The Linces near Green Park Primary School.

The graffiti artist has been nicknamed W**ksy by residents who commented on the pictures on Facebook.

Stevo Marrin said: "That is The Linces near Green Park School and just one of many roads in Dover that need sorting."

Adele Napier added: "It's rather funny but a bit of a d**k move doing it outside a school."

Others said all potholes should be reported to Kent County Council.

Residents have also suggested other roads that might need the rude spray paint, including St Radigund's and Barwick Road.

A Kent County Council spokesman said: “Residents are asked to report potholes and other faults on line at www.kent.gov.uk/highways, where details can be easily uploaded and locations pinpointed on an interactive map.

“Providing this information has helped speed up the rate of repairs.

“In this instance, the issue was reported to us before obscenities were spray painted over them and the works are due to be carried out on Friday, weather permitting.

“Spray-painting around the potholes will not get them fixed any quicker.

"We would urge this person to stop defacing the roads and anyone who sees this sort of criminal damage being carried out should report it to the police."
