A Stoke-on-Trent company is still waiting for a giant pothole to be fixed - nearly THREE YEARS after it was first reported. Scott Doorbar, business unit director at Dee Set Logistics, fears there could be a fatality if the crater - measuring around 12ft by 4ft - on the entrance to the car park isn't filled in. He first alerted Stoke-on-Trent City Council to the pothole off Victoria Road, Fenton, in May 2016 - before Donald Trump was President, the UK was yet to vote on remaining in Europe and Marko Arnautovic was on fire for Stoke City. Since then, Scott has used the authority's online portal to repeatedly ask for the surface to be repaired - but to no avail. Scott, from Biddulph, said: "We first reported it nearly three years ago and they came out to view it in February 2017. They said back then that the road needed replacing.
