claim off the council, get pics of the pot hole, pics of the damage and email them to the council

your claim will take a long time to settle mate. welding not really a fix more of a substitute until you get a new wheel so id say get yourself another rim mate.

hopefully the boys can give you more ideas of what options you have

Yeah, good luck without. Without trying to sound like a miserable old pessimistic cvnt that's a waste of time.

Give it a go non the less.
