Numerous Potholes
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 17:39, Sat 25 March 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4358463.
The road is in the most terrible state of repair. Many cars swerve into on coming cars to miss these car damaging potholes. What on earth to we pay road tax and council tax when main roads are not maintained. This is an absolute disgrace and if somebody doesn’t get injured here soon it will be a miracle!

This has been passed to the local area technician to investigate the enquiry/issue regarding a pothole/road surface.
During winter months we receive a very high number of reports regarding potholes or a poor road surface, it's easy to assume that potholes are formed due to roads being poorly maintained but that is not usually the case. There are many factors that can cause potholes, particularly during the winter months when water seeps in through cracks in the road surface, collecting underneath and when the water freezes, it expands and forces up the road surface in through cracks in the road surface.
Our priority is always the safety of road users, so in some cases during busy periods a permanent repair is not always possible immediately. However, temporary repairs are a way to ensure the area is safe until such times as we can return to make a permanent repair.

We can confirm that this section of road is currently on our Capital Maintenance list for extensive resurfacing which we hope will be carried out within the next 6-12 months. We always try were possible to adhere to the dates given, but unfortunately there are occasions when we have to delay the work due to unforeseen circumstances.
In the meantime please be assured, we will continue to monitor the area in line with our Highways Safety Inspection Policy.
