It's the pothole payment they tried to keep secret. After battling for more than a year a man whose car was damaged by a tomo has finally got "compensation" from Auckland Transport. Stephen Doyle's lodged a claim with the agency for repairs to a wheel ruined when he hit a pothole on Leigh Road North of Auckland in 2021. But it refused to pay basically saying it was only liable if it had knowingly left a hazard unrepaired. Now we know a lot of you have suffered pothole damage, but have had no joy in terms of compo. Stephen Doyle didnt give up and finally got a "goodwill" payment of almost nine hundred dollars. Stephen Doyle speaks to Lisa Owen.
