Resident Douglas Debnam on Whitebarns Lane in the village of Furneaux Phelham in Hertfordshire. Photo released October 29 2024. Furious villagers embroiled in Britain's longest running pothole row have said they will refuse to pay nearly ??100k out of their own pockets to fix the road to their homes.

Hertfordshire County Council said that Whitebarns Lane has always been a public footpath and not a road - meaning it cannot be repaired at public expense. However angry villagers say the lane is covered with 32 potholes and a dispute over the road surface dates back to 1960s.

Councils handed £1,600,000,000 to fix pothole-blighted roads - but there's a catch
