The UK's Wanksy is on a crusade to get the holes of Ramsbottom filled - and he is using penises to do it.

The mystery crusader has taken to drawing penises to highlight potholes in his local area, and he is getting results according to The Manchester Evening News.

Most of the holes have been filled within 48 hours.

He told the newspaper that Ramsbottom is only the beginning of his quest for better roads.

“The roads of Manchester are in an appalling state, especially around Bury. I have cyclist friends who have been hospitalised.

“They damage vehicles. Sometimes it’s hard to know which pothole caused the damage because there are so many. When I’ve finished in Ramsbottom, I’ll move on to the rest of Manchester,” he said.

He is not, however, on a quest for artistic immortality.

"I want my work to be destroyed, I like it when it gets dug up and replaced with fresh tarmac,” he said.
