Clarkson’s Farm’s Kaleb Cooper targets council over Chipping Norton potholes

Published on

The star of Clarkson’s Farm has taken a prehistoric swipe at the local authority, voicing frustration over the state of roads in the area.

Kaleb Cooper, who shot to fame through the Amazon Prime programme, posted an artificial intelligence-created picture showing dinosaurs stumbling about inside a road crater.

On his social media channels, the 27-year-old wrote alongside it that Chipping Norton is crazy these days.

The FixMyStreet website currently features several road defects listed in this Oxfordshire market town.

This encompasses a 15 inch depression on Leys Approach, near the West End, together with numerous road craters on Lewis Road.

Oxfordshire County Council has responded by stating they are currently dealing with a backlog of pothole reports around the county and have increased the number of crews to deal with this.

Residents have additionally flagged concerns about the primary routes that traverse Chipping Norton.

One individual flagged massive potholes situated in the layby positioned between the B4026 and the A361.

Furthermore, on February 21, another person documented a 12 inch by 10 inch but 5 inch deep road depression on the West End.

Residents have also voiced significant worries regarding Cotswold Crescent.

Mr Cooper is a familiar face in Chippy, having spent his formative years in the town.

Following the debut season of Clarkson’s Farm – fronted by former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson – the young agricultural worker has featured in every subsequent series, including the fourth instalment, which premiered in May and June the previous year.
