Resident Sarah Wright 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. Locals of Whitebarns Lane, in Furneux Pelham, Herts, are locked in a bitter dispute as the lane links the main road through to village to their cul-de-sac. 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.

Undated handout photo issued by the University of Hertfordshire of a satellite image of Robert Island, in the Antarctic Peninsula, showing areas of vegetated land in bright green. Parts of Antarctica are turning green faster than expected, with vegetation cover in these areas now 10 times more than it was four decades ago, scientists have said. The Antarctic Peninsula - a 1,300km (800-mile) stretch of land in the northernmost part of the continent - could become vulnerable to invasive species as a result, UK researchers have warned.
