'Daventry Banksy': Mystery pothole artist mocks West Northamptonshire Council with funny road signs

A video shows some of the witty hand-painted signs that have been placed around pothole hotspots by an anonymous campaigner, known as the Daventry Banksy. Despite being repeatedly removed, she has vowed to continue making more in a bid to shame West Northamptonshire Council into repairing the craters. The comical signs dub Daventry 'Pot Hole City' and one referencing the musical Grease declares: 'I got potholes. They're multiplying. And W.N.C is losing control.

'I will be continuing until we have had an apology from the council and they publish an action plan stating what they will do to rectify the situation, how they are prioritising repairs, what they are doing to hold their contractors accountable, and finally what the specific timelines are. A local resident said: 'It's horribly bad, especially around the roundabouts. I think the signs are a good idea and making a strong argument.
