Crude images have been drawn around several potholes in a West Sussex road.
Images taken today, March 29, show two potholes on Richmond Road, Worthing, which have been defaced with penis graffiti.

This is not the first time a disgruntled driver has taken action against the potholes in Worthing.
Last year, a penis was also drawn around a pothole on Portland Road. The older graffiti appears different.
West Sussex County Council criticised the incident and urged people to “not risk their lives” by painting on roads.
A spokeswoman for the council: “We do not condone vandalism and urge people not to risk their lives (and, potentially, other people’s lives if they cause an accident) by going on a live carriageway to paint graffiti.
“Adding graffiti of this nature won’t speed up a repair or mean we undertake a repair when there is no safety issue present.”

In May 2024, vandals also drew penises around two large potholes in Tangmere.
The drawings were larger than a car and could be seen from the sky.
Two large potholes at the junctions with Tangmere Road, Malcolm Road, and Meadow Way were targeted by the frustrated vandal.
