‘How dare they!’ Martin Daubney SLAMS council for ‘putting it on pensioners to lead the charge’ as 101-year-old campaigns to fix road

They say their road has 21 potholes - but believe their concerns have been dismissed by council highway staff for two years.

Bill and Sheila Nicholls have been campaigning for months to get the road fixed.

Speaking to GB News Sheila said: "I do feel frightened if it's too difficult for the people on the job to to do anything about it. We know we can't do anything about it's almost as if it is" Bill finished off: "It is hopeless.

"Completely hopeless. Someone's going to get really hurt. Someone's going to get some damage to their car, and then we won't be able to use the road. It's serious. It is very serious."

Brian Pankhurst another resident of the road said: "We got up a petition last June, everyone signed it, and we sent it off to the council.

"We didn't hear a word. Not even a no we're not doing anything or yes we are doing anything."

Another resident said: "It is awful. I say that about potholes, but these are extra special deluxe potholes."

A spokesman for Somerset Council said: "Whilst there are some potholes, the lane carries a public footpath which is still accessible for walkers.

"This lane is a public right of way, not a public road.

"Therefore, the responsibility for the upkeep of this lane is complex and there will need to be a shared approach to maintenance going forward."

Residents claim six people have already been injured as a result of the potholes.

The hope is something can be done before anybody else gets hurt.

GB News host Martin Daubney said: "Sheila is an absolute legend. Sheila is 101 years old, I don't know what she is drinking in her tea but she looks younger than me and that is not saying much.

"The whole community coming together and saying enough is enough to the council is superb.

"How dare they say that it is not there responsibility and put it on pensioners to lead the charge. Good on 'em. That is the very best of British."
