    "Not only is this vandalism, but it’s also counter-productive," the spokesman said. "Every penny that we have to spend cleaning off this graffiti is a penny less that we have to spend on actually repairing the potholes."

    So the money that they aren't spending on cleaning off the graffiti that washes away naturally was previously not being used to fix potholes. Got it.

    I did think this would be a good way of using up my left-over PoP pavement chalk...

    Good effort! It would appear that the council aren't spending much money 'fixing' the potholes in any case whilst failing to clean the graffiti based on the last couple of pictures so not convinced by their arguement.

    I liked this story so much I managed to post it a second time (but seven hours late) - oops/sorry. I think it's a rather nice and novel approach - mostly as it gets the issue of potholes into the press, but also because I am at heart about 12.
