A major road which took weeks to fix has been left with a pothole after a workman left a glove sticking out of the asphalt.
It is understood that a bungling contractor dropped the garment while working on the thoroughfare at St John’s Road in Edinburgh.
The road had been partially closed for three weeks while the repairs were carried out, but has been left with a pothole due to the blunder.
