Alex and Daisy De La Rosa have been filling in potholes around Compton on their own. Now the city has ordered them to stop.
A Compton couple who started filling in potholes on their own is now being ordered to stop.Alex and Daisy De La Rosa were tired of all the damage these road hazards have caused their vehicles, and decided to take matters into their own hands after they said the city didn't respond to their multiple requests. But now, the city has served the De La Rosas with a cease and desist notice, asking them to stop."We were expecting more of a ‘thank you,’" said Daisy De La Rosa.
A GoFundMe campaign raised more than $1,100, with other Compton residents saying the potholes are a persistent issue."They've been around," one resident told FOX 11. "All they do is they have a crew that comes around and a couple up, but it's constant they still come right back."Another resident called the cease and desist the De La Rosas received "horrible, because they're actually doing something for the community. They're not doing anything bad.
