Massive Pothole in road

Reported via desktop in the Claim category anonymously at 12:08, Fri 25 November 2022

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 hour, 40 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 3992987.

On Tuesday 22/11/2022 at approximately 18:00 my car went over a massive pothole that blew my tire and damaged my wheel. I had to call my roadside assistant provider (rescuemycar.com) who were able to pick me up just a little bit further down the road. Due to the time of night, road traffic and lack of pavement it was unsafe for me to retrace my steps for a picture of the pothole. My partner attempted but there was not enough verge for him to walk on and there were no street lights so it was pitch black so he had to walk back to my vehicle whilst we waited for the recovery company. I've gone to report this incident on this site and have found someone has reported it on 22/11/2022 at 22:19 and the pothole has been updated as now repaired. I have since been told by a mechanic that I need to buy a new tire and wheel.
