take photos upon photos of the holes, cos u wud be surprised as to how quick they will fill the hole in, then go into the local council and tell them what has happened, then go get a quote for the damaged caused and tell them that theya re paying for it!

how could a pothole have smashed your bumper?
Thge council arnt stupid and they could even send someone round to assess the damage. They wont just hand out money to people willy nilly.

Its a crack right in bottom corner of bumper and we have some SERIOUSLY HUGE pot holes, so if wheel went in it would catch corner of bumper aswell!! Its got to be worth a go

Give it a go mate but i doubt they'll offer you anything apart from an apology and tell u that the pothole may be filled in "soon".

I'm confused. There's damage on the bumper which must by 5 inches or more above ground level. You'd never get out of a hole that deep!

Yeah good luck man, there's two massive holes up the road from me (a major A road in London) and they must fill em in with shit, because it only stays level for about a week and then it's potholed again because of bloody trucks and buses going over it.

You seriously think all fuel tax, fuel VAT, and road tax goes into the roads?

No it gets pissed away on hospital 'managers', and other superfluous government bureaucracy.
