Residents of a town in northeast England were fed up with the increasing number of potholes littering the streets and the town's lack of activity in repairing them.

One person took matters into his own hands, highlighting the potholes in the roads by spray-painting penises on them in hopes the town would be forced to fill the potholes.

The town council of Middlesbrough, who say they were already repairing potholes in the area, re-routed their planned schedule to fill the penis-potholes and remove the graffiti.
