The famous English musician took matters into his own hands and fixed some road holes near his home
British singer and musician Rod Stewart embarked on an unexpected road maintenance operation and set out to repair potholes in the pavement near his home in Harlow, Essex. Stewart has released a video documenting the events and bemoans the lack of interest from the institutions that are instead funding the construction of a freeway nearby: “An ambulance blew out a tire the other day! And my Ferrari is absolutely not allowed through here. So me and the boys figured we’d do the job ourselves. That’s what we do, we fix the holes while millions and millions of pounds have been spent on the M11! “
Many greeted Rod Stewart’s gesture with satisfaction and applause, but the same did not happen with English local authorities, who urged citizens not to engage in similar activities, risky due to the precarious security conditions. The video appears to have had the desired effect, however, as the very good visibility of the road conditions prompted area politicians to take over official maintenance of the road, which Stewart’s amateur team temporarily made passable.
