3 months ago my wife parked near a kerb and felt something through the steering wheel, so she got out to have a look,
this what she found,
this was the damage to my wheel,
this was bad, but add to that, the fact that the wheels were old a few days old after VW changed them all, due to white worm on my old wheels!!
I was a little bit upset but thought I would take lots of photo's and show the council to see if they would sort it out.
HOW WRONG I WAS!
They said it could take up to 3 months for a decision, and it did they sent me a letter 2-3 days before the 3 months were up!
In the letter they told me how they do a annual inspection on the highways and in 'THEIR OPINION the council's inspection and repair system is a reasonable one and as a result, the accident cannot be said to have occurred due to any fault on the council's part. Therefore we cannot meet the claim as our customer has a valid section 58 defence under the highways act 1980 in place. Liabilty is denied.'
Not sure what to do now but made me laugh as the kerb stone has been repair straight away!
