How can the councillor refuse to comment? - she should have the guts to stand up and be accountable.

One of two things will happen

1) They will ignore it until the media lose interest and sweep it under the carpet

2) They will have an investigation costing several million which will find that the council were not at fault, the pothole was something to be expected after our "warmest winter on record" and that the driver was driving too fast for the conditions meaning he was not in full control of the car.
