READERS have been sharing even more tales of pothole woe - including £1000 of damage.

Grandpa John Glen told the Evening Times he was driving along the Broomielaw when his car hit a monster pothole.

The crater caused damage to Mr Glen's alloy and burst his tyre - while his grandchildren were in the car.

He said: "I was driving my Range Rover HSE west along the Broomielaw just before the Kingston Bridge/Renfrew Ferry on December 19 with my wife and two grandchildren - one and three years of age.

"It was around 6pm, dark and damp.

"We hit the pit hole and the steering lurched in my hands.

"Luckily we did not crash into any other vehicles and the children were safe."

Mr Glen added: "I nursed the car along to our flat in Lancefield Quay, by the time we covered the 500/600 metres, the tyre was flat, it was burst and had to be renewed.

"It cost me £175, the alloy wheel was also damaged, but as yet I've not tried to have it repaired as I was quoted £850 for a new alloy."

Mr Glen went back to photograph the pothole, using his mobile phone for scale.

He has also tried to claim the cost of the damage back from Glasgow City Council but was turned down.

Mr Glen got in touch as part of our #spothole campaign asking for the worst pothole in the city.

Brian Duffy, who featured in the Evening Times last week, has been back in touch to say the council came out to repair his road.

However, he has been left less than impressed with the quality of the work.

He said: "Further to my e-mail last week regarding the three areas I use daily I was driving along Linthaugh Road in Pollock this lunchtime and I noticed that the potholes had been 'repaired'.

"If I worked in the squad that performed this work I would be hanging my head in shame.

"These infilled potholes will be as bad as ever within days."

Jill Ferguson, of Thornwood, also spotted some monster potholes along Byres Road.

She said: "As a regular voluntary litter picker in my local area and occasionally Byres Road, when I was on Byres Road this week I saw these terrible looking potholes.

"One was outside Waitrose at the bus stop and is gradually deteriorating as buses drive over and through it.

"The others are seven in a row all between Great George Street and Great Western Road and at the kerbside of Byres Road where parking cars are seeing the road surface breaking up.

We are offering a prize of new tyres worth up to £1000 for the driver who finds us Glasgow's worst pothole.

We need you to take a photograph of the pothole using an item such as a copy of the Evening Times for scale and send it to us via direct message on our Facebook page.

Alternatively, e-mail your pothole to news@eveningtimes.co.uk, or tweet it using the hashtag #spothole.

Give us your name, the location of the pothole, its size and tell us how long it's been there. The pothole we deem to be the most dangerous based on size, location and length of time left unresolved will win the prize.

We will print your name with your picture.
