I always feel like vulvas would be more appropriate.
But maybe the local council wouldn’t recognise a vulva when they saw one?
I genuinely don’t blame the councils considering the government cut their budgets by 40%. There’s no money and what little they do have the bulk of it has to go towards adult social care.
I really do despair at the sight of some of our roads, I’ve been to developing countries that have less pot holes in their roads, the neglect is just embarrassing.
There is always the Dick MoveTM if you run out of other options.
You can get interned for thinking about that sort of thing these days. What if the King drove by and saw a cock painted on the road. The horror.
Councils will always argue that they aren’t rushing to fix these things due to the graffiti, but it’s a lie.
Councils take graffiti much more seriously because it’s an advertisement that the council isn’t doing its job.
The lesson? Paint more knobs on the road.
I once joked that Syria has better roads than my town. Someone said that’s insensitive because there’s a war going on. I replied no wonder the council have no money.
Councils spunk maintenance money up the wall on vanity projects or jobs for their mates whilst raising council taxes and lowering quality of existing services.
My council has dug up green spaces to build a concrete wall way no one uses, built a fucking Hollywood fucking city sign, killed off the local delis and sandwiche style shops by raising rents. Then killed off the local high street with increased rates and massively increasing parking costs.
Anything that highlights the ineptitude of these councils the better
If you painted them with the G spot, no one would ever find them.
They drew penises around the council? Or the potholes?
The Council jumping to fix them as they are all prudes… everyone now knows this is the way to get these holes filled
I am pretty sure this idea originated from an artist who calls himself Wanksy. I saw some of his work 10 years ago or so. Brilliant
Wouldn’t be surprised if this gets pushed through parliament as a highly illegal form of protest.
Yeah my complaints haven’t done shit ima draw giant erect penises on the roads fuck it
So the council care more about graffiti than safe roads?
Very clever, quite funny but totally ineffective. The pot holes will appear elsewhere and or reappear in current locations. The real issue here is that we are all living the real consequences of massive and sustained under investment in public services. That we have marginally more money in our pockets is no recompense for the degradation of each and every facet of our infrastructure so brazenly discarded by governments since Thatcher. Large multinationals ride roughshod over the tax system whilst reaping limitless profits and continuing the destruction. So by all means draw immature cartoons, benefit from temporary notoriety and know that evil corp is laughing at you
Not sure drawing penises around them would fill the potholes, but sure, they can try
There’s a play park near us. Council owned and has always had decent equipment. Never damaged, never vandalised….. Yet last month the council decided to replace half the equipment at what I’m assuming was a high cost
The road outside the park?……..yep, still full of potholes. Money well spent there
The roads in Newcastle are getting shocking, it might be time I take action.
Its annoying when you pay council tax for this exact reason (roads to be fixed and obviously other stuff that council takes care of) and nothing happens.
