A statement in pink also appeared on the pavement just outside the West Sussex County Council (WSCC) building in West Street, The Argus reports. 'WSCC: Fix the potholes! We pay taxes!!!', the graffiti reads. Elsewhere, the vigilante has written: 'WSCC!!! The state of our roads!!!' and 'This road is an embarrassment to the city!!!' Whole lot of holes: A pothole vigilante has shown road rage of a different kind by spray painting the worst craters in Chichester, Sussex in a bid to shame their local council into fixing them The graffiti, which appeared overnight, called on West Sussex County Council to fix the roads In other locations, the potholes have been circled with green and pink spray paint, accompanied by the simple statement, 'Taxes!?' Taking to Facebook, some users applauded the vigilante for taking action. One said: 'Well done to whoever is doing this. I don't think you would have enough paint for the road through Donnington on the way to Selsey.' Another wrote: 'Whoever is doing this, good on you but I think you are going to be busy for quite a few months.' On X, formerly known as Twitter, user Ionut Lucian posted a photograph of one of the circled potholes and tagging WSCC and West Sussex Highways wrote: 'Things have gotten so bad people have started taking matters in their own hands. This is a nice welcome to Chichester!' He added that a 'massive pothole' had damaged nine cars in recent days at a nearby bus stop. MailOnline has contacted WSCC for comment. In several locations, the potholes have been circled with green or pink spray paint, accompanied by the simple statement, 'Taxes!?' Social media users have supported the vigilante for taking action, though one warned 'I think you are going to be busy for quite a few months' In recent months, Chichester is not the only UK town or city to lay claim to having their very own pothole vigilante. Earlier this month, a mysterious street artist dubbed the Daventry Banksy spoke out about why she has covered the town in hilarious signs complaining about the state of the roads. The town, in West Northamptonshire, has been dubbed 'Pothole City' by the artist, who calls herself 'Banksie' in order to distinguish herself from her Bristol contemporary. Despite being repeatedly removed, the anonymous campaigner has vowed to continue making more signs in a bid to shame West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) into repairing the craters around town. In a reference to the musical Grease, one of the signs reads: 'I got potholes. They're multiplying. And W.N.C is losing control.' Others joke 'Ghostbusters. Who you gonna call? Not W.N.C' and 'Warning: Extreme traffic calming - craters'. Elsewhere, Callum Jattontop - known as @TheBrownJatt on TikTok where he posts his videos - has begun to record clips of him spray painting the craters as a self-styled 'pothole vigilante' in Stoke-on-Trent. Earlier this month, a mysterious street artist dubbed the Daventry Banksy spoke out about why she has covered the town in hilarious signs complaining about the state of the roads He claims that his patience finally snapped after he after burst 10 tyres on his sports car in just one year. He says that despite his and other road users experience on the roads, Stoke-on-Trent City Council has warned him that defacing the highway is actually illegal. Many of the potholes are so deep in his local area that Callum has taken to standing inside them to show their depth, earning him plaudits on TikTok. In Cobham, Surrey, one vigilante has gone to even further extremes to gain attention to potholes - by spraying a penis graffiti around each one. Last July, it was reported that more than a dozen large potholes on a road leading to Cobham in Surrey have been sprayed with white paint in a phallic shape Last July, MailOnline reported that more than a dozen large potholes on a road leading to Cobham in Surrey have been sprayed with white paint in a phallic shape. In a clear message to council chiefs one large hole, on the country road leading from the village of East Horsley to Cobham, was even highlighted with blue arrow and the words: 'Fix me’.
