Woman Wins Money from Council Over Pothole Damage

Sheila Burgman won her court case after two years.

A woman won a two-year court battle against the local council. Her car was damaged by a pothole and she had to replace the shock absorber.

Sheila had to pay £515 to fix her car. She asked the council for money many times, but they said no.

Sheila said, 'I had enough.' She made many claims, but the council didn't agree. They were supposed to go to court, but they didn't show up.

Sheila's car was damaged after hitting a pothole.

The judge agreed with Sheila and gave her £515 and £155 for court costs. Sheila was very happy with the result.

Sheila said the council told her they didn't have money. But she thought it was fair because she was driving carefully.

Sheila didn't want more money because she's not greedy. She just wanted to prove she was right.

The mum was happy to win her case.

Sheila was determined to win. She thinks more people should do the same if they think they're right. When she won, she felt very happy.

Sheila said she won't give up when she wants something.

The council was asked to comment, but they didn't respond.
