Cheers for taking it in good heart !

Technically, it's possible to claim against councils for damage caused by potholes and for slides caused by oil left on the roads, but there's no strict liability. Instead, it's necessary to prove that the council has failed in their duty to maintain the roads by not acting timeously.
~and the courts aren't keen to allow such cases to proceed as they see them as "opening the floodgates" against revenue which ultimately comes from the public.

Just so you know !
