Daventry Banksie says she is stepping back as she has achieved what she wanted - road repairs.
A woman who put up signs around a pothole-plagued town has said she is stepping back from the campaign.
She said she also believed many people assumed a man was putting out the signs and women had told her they felt "empowered" when they discovered she was behind the campaign. One welcomed drivers to "Pot Hole City - twinned with Grand Canyon" and another named a roundabout "Pot Holy Island".The signs were removed a few days later, apparently by the Conservative-controlled West Northamptonshire Council, but more placards followed and the story was covered on television, radio and in newspapers.
Daventry Banksie told the BBC she was bringing her campaign to an end because "I think I achieved what I set out to achieve - to get the council to listen".
