A mile stretch of Village Road
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4295371.
The road outside of White Roses was resurfaced Sept 2022, since then the road has deteriorated and impressions in the road have caused puddles of water outside the property. With this property being directly on the road it causes water to splash up and there is concern this is damaging the brick work with it being extremely old. The failing road surface is approximately a 1mile stretch of Village Road. Can this be looked into and the reporter contacted directly (preferably over the phone) to discuss these concerns in more depth.

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.
