The Red Hen Shopper

City council officials of a small village in UK named Navestock have decided to allow the potholes on the black tar road to stay, maintaining that they would serve the purpose of deterring the motorists who zip across the road at breakneck speed. City councilor Mike Parrish opined that it was cheaper to leave the potholes in the roads than to fix them. It is hoped that the tar roads in small towns such as this would return to resemble the country lanes of yore. Looks like the global economic downturn is leading people to make convenient choices to save on cost.
