In a clear protests on the pits, work is being done to cover a road sprayed graffiti in Derbyshire.
Neighbors at Li Welle, South Normanton, say the pit issues with their street have not been addressed for “18 months to two years”.
The graffiti was painted on the road between Monday night and Tuesday morning.

The pits were also ordered in a yellow spray paint along the road and the word “sort it nat” – was also sprayed in a clear context of local MP Natali Fleet.
He also drawn two faces and a ugly image, which is depicted by workers.
A neighbor, who did not take the name, said: “This road is terrible for pits, people have to drive in the middle of the road to avoid them.
“But it is shocking to do something like this, it is a criminal damage at the end of the day.
“It is not suitable for children. Complain properly.”
Resident Adam Squeeers said that the pit was a major problem but the protest was not appropriate.
He said: “This is not good for the community here and even the patchwork he has done is not very good.
,[Potholes] There are no bad anywhere around here, it is probably the main area.
“But it’s a mess and I think it can be for some time now – [images] Not suitable for anyone at any age – it could be better dealt with. ,
Labor MP for Fleet, Bolsovar, said: “Pits are one of the most common issues raised with me, and this stretch of Lee Velle is a problem for a very long time.
“We regularly pass these concerns to the Derbyshire County Council, which are responsible, but people are not looking at action.
“I think the disappointment feels, and I share it. But I cannot support barbarism, especially when it involves aggressive pictures in the family neighborhood. It is not a way to achieve things.”
Derbyshire County Council, which is responsible for roads in the area, said that teams would be sent to remove frescoes.
Cabinet Members for pits, highways and transport, Councilor Charlotte Hill said: “We are disappointed to see this frescoes, but would like to assure the residents that we are aware of the situation in this road.
“Our teams have worked to do some comprehensive patching work on a nearby road in November.”
The Derbyshire police said that it was not contacted about the graffiti.
