Holy island pothole help needed (1 Viewer)

[Foxtrot1]

Good morning campers
Was anyone at Holy Island on the 1st August 2017 and parked at the first main carpark and did you notice the pot hole on the first left into the parking spaces?
I went down said put hole and broke front anti roll bar Bush bracket. I didn't expect it to be so deep as it was full of water. I didn't get to take pictures as I didn't think I had broke anything until I was a good few miles away and the bar started to knock and I went under and noticed a bolt had snapped on the bush for anti roll bar and the other bent and about to fall out. Lost bush. Cable tied in place and got to garage. Only passed an MOT a few months before so know it wasn't faulty.
So if anyone can confirm pothole in first carpark on holy Island on the 01/08/17 I would appreciate the message back as I'll use it to get them to pay for the repair.
Happy motor homing you guys.

Good luck with that ! I think they could say it could have happened anywhere in the few months after your MOT.

The first main one on the left is on grass, or was when we were there earlier this year. Drove in slowly and had no problems. Or do you mean the ones just after the causeway all of which seemed to be closed.

Sorry but think your chasing the impossible , whoever manages the car park will just dismiss any claim you try and make .
You have no real proof it happened there .

The carpark is run by Northumberland council I think as they are on ticket brought.
There should be a record of repairs to the hole on holey Island (don't get ya coat it's good to lighten up our world) so may have something there.
In the words of Derrick trotter he who dares wins.

If the pothole in question has previously been reported and not been repaired in a reasonable timeframe, then you might have a claim.
If it has not been previously reported and/or the Authority had no knowledge - then you have no claim.

Good luck & welcome to the forum.

Snowball and hot stove spring to mind.
