“Car-centric” council missed massive pothole that killed 84-year-old cyclist because “primary focus” was to identify “dangers to cars”, not bikes

The local authority is also accused of “defying logic” by claiming that the crack – visible on Google Maps since 2009 – must have closed “on its own” prior to an inspection months before Harry Colledge’s death
