ULPT: How can I force my district to fix seriously dangerous potholes and unfinished street work? (Not the U.S.)

There were some issues with water pipes, they dug up the street, "fixed" the issues, and left the street and sidewalk DEMOLISHED. When we asked wtf, essentially, we were told the issues weren't totally fixed and they'll need to come back. It's been two months. We're sick and tired and there were several injuries as a result. How do we force them to take care of this once and for all?

Get some spray paint and draw dicks on the areas that need work.

We're a conservative country too so this just might work lol.

"Is the current administration working?"

This is the answer. Also, paint the name of your local politicians around it.

Came here to say this. That one guy who did it successfully about a decade ago completely changed the landscape.

Or just paint the political party’s name near the potholes

Spray paint penises on them

Plant flowers in then. Drivers will usually go around but the district will hate that they are being focused on. Do it at night, obviously

I saw a video where someone filled potholes with sand and gravel. Or use quick setting concrete. The city will be out to repair it immediately after seeing someone else's half-assed repair.

Mail a piece of concrete to the department in charge, saying the next one goes to the mayor's office. Mail to the mayor's office, with note that the next one goes to the press.

Draw'n dicks (already mentioned) filling potholes with potted plants/crops, hell, turn them into kiddie pools. Line them with tarps and use them as salad bowls? Anything that's obnoxious enough and visible enough to annoy literally everyone.

Pussies work also well. Depending on the shape of the pothole.

You know, the world needs more pussies. I'm tired of these juvenile dick drawings. I demand more yonic imagery at once!

The Yoni must Yon.

Pussy, hither and yon, as far as the eye can see

If it's not offensive or extreme they won't care if only neighbourhood residents are affected. They're shitty like that.
taintmaster900@reddit
Alright. Make them worse then. Do you have access to anything that makes a hole bigger?
Fill holes with noxious chemicals amd spiders. And piss disk.
Silent_Technology540@reddit
Print up a bunch of signs that feature the name of the head of the department who’s responsible for this or hell if you want to get even more offensive the local politician
And have the sign say “To busy buggering bois at party’s to fix the road.”
It’ll spread on social media and they’ll need to fix the issue and your embarrassing them in the process also if you place them along main roads in the early hours of the morning that way theirs less witnesses.

Lean into it? Take a pick axe to it and dig it up more.

Tempting, but as long as it doesn't offend or threaten them in some way they won't care. They'll fix any breaks and leave us rot in the aftermath. We're beyond frustrated.

Sometimes they have to leave it open for the earth to settle...at least that is what the town engineer tried telling my neighborhood. The only mistake she made wasn't realizing that one of my neighbors owns a company that installs sewer lines for big road projects and he told her that she was full of shit. Within 3 days, the street was repaired.

Sigh, if only we could call their BS or force their hand.
