Residents have praised a bold mystery graffiti artist who defaced potholes with crude drawings of penises.
The vandal targeted the tarmac on the A259 in Dymchurch due to a large break in the road surface that has been left unrepaired for about a year.

It’s believed the phallic shapes were painted on Sunday and Monday evening in two separate incidents.
Pictures show smaller yellow shapes around the holes, and one larger blue one, accompanied by the words “Dix till fix!”
People have taken to social media to praise the graffiti artist’s efforts.
David Smith wrote: “The hero we didn’t know we needed! Spot on, and good luck to them.”
Daniel Coates said: “Excellent – keep up the good work. Willies will keep appearing until it’s repaired.”

Kriss Sharpe added: “Well done to whoever did this. We should erect a statue to you. It might be hard to do. Let’s see who has the balls to do it.”
Witnesses reported seeing Kent County Council workers at the site, taking photos of the spray paint. They hope the artwork will expedite the road repairs.
This isn’t the first time such an approach has been seen in Kent. In 2016, bright blue images of penises were spotted on roads in The Linces near Green Park Primary School, Dover.
Kent County Council has been contacted for comment.
