The blunder happened in Rosedale Drive, in the Wollaton area of Nottingham – blighted by potholes like much of the UK.
Local Gemma Hatvani joked: “Great tarmacking.
“Honestly it’s such a c*ap job I had to laugh.”

“Highways were told years ago to fix some of the really bad roads and they still haven’t been done yet.”
She spotted it on Sunday (23 Mar), as reported on What’s The Jam.
Others made light of the resurfacing.
Suzanne Croft added: “You’ve got to laugh or it would make you cry.”
Jean Lloyd said: “Nothing surprises me anymore.”
Sharon King joked: “More pot hole for next year.”
Nottingham City Council has been approached for comment.
