A tarmac vigilante with a tin of spray paint has attempted to shame a local council into filling-in potholes in Cock Lane, Fetcham, England, by daubing penises the length of the thoroughfare.
The irate road campaigner has been dubbed the Cock Lane Crusader, after spraying their penis images around the Surrey street’s notorious potholes for the second time in six months.
The crusader first struck back in September, when The Surrey Advertiser reported that local commuters had been forced out of their cars by the pothole pornographs.
Resident Polly Birkbeck told the paper, “I said to my daughter 'hang on a minute, someone's drawn willies on the road'...There are about 15 of them, I stopped the car and counted.â€
She added, "They're on all the bad bits of the road, it's a sort of protest by someone with a smutty sense of humour.â€
Fellow resident Ian Routledge added that locals had been demanding the council do something about the state of the roads for years. Alas, he continued, “We just get fobbed off all the time."

And this week, the local council once again refused to be browbeaten by the penis-touting campaigner into giving Cock Lane any special treatment.
A spokesman for Surrey County Council told The Surrey Advertiser that "A full resurfacing of Cock Lane is due to take place this spring as part of our £100m Operation Horizon scheme which is overhauling hundreds of miles of Surrey's roads most in need of repair."
This week's visual assault comes just months after the cutthrough was dubbed the "Rudest Street in Britain" after a semi at 69 Cock Lane was put up for sale.

WTF Why are they forced out of their cars?
>>>"We just get fobbed off all the time."<<<
or does 'fobbed off' have some hidden meaning :)

Does it have a pub? What would you call it I wonder ;)
|
|
It would have to be The Bull wouldn't it?

>> It would have to be The Bull wouldn't it?
In reality, the nearest pub is called "The Bell"

At the end of the lane presumably?

If they closed it off, would they use bollards?

Someone at the council should get the sack.
Oh no, now look what you've made me do.

There was a report many years ago about a lady who lived down Cock Lane and she lost her cat, and one of the locals put up reward signs about a "lost pussy in cock lane"
I did just try and search for evidence on the web, based on what happened I would sternly recommend you do not even attempt to do the same.

...reward signs about a "lost pussy in cock lane"
Walking back from town last weekend I noticed a sign on a tree asking for help finding a missing...
...drone. New one on me.

Ah, the price of progress. Back in my youth, sexual deviants would sing songs about boomerangs failing to return. ;-)

....couldn't they send a drone up to look for it?

Well you started it

Tee hee. I sometimes go for a ride on Cock Lane. On my bike, that is.
We live just round the corner from there.

The cones and roadwork signs have just appeared at the side of Cock Lane. The road art was washed away weeks ago.
Could it be that the powers that be have finally acted?
