Mr Webb told the LDRS: “I think the council initially didn't know quite what to make of what I was doing… There were an awful lot of road defects, including potholes, and I initially wanted to draw attention to the problem and get some action taken.” He added: “It is interesting when you run a campaign because you're never quite sure how it's going to take off, what's going to evolve, and I never expected to end up on live TV or live radio. I’ve got a feature coming up on a calendar as well of the 12 most unusual people in the world",

Bromley Council announced in May that a second contractor had been appointed on a temporary basis to repair the borough’s potholes, Tim said: “There's far less potholes about than there were say a month, two months or certainly six months ago. They must be clearing hundreds every week. The good news is this area here I would say is very much the exception to the rule. But I think it stands out because everywhere else is looking great.” He added: “The fundamental problem at the heart of this is there still doesn't seem to be a very good system of dealing with multiple potholes.” It just goes to show the difference one person can make, as a motorist all I can say is, “keep up the good work!” Bromley Council was approached for comment, but had not responded at the time of publication, for the full article have a look here.
