Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4327098.
Huge pothole on the left of Taplow Common Road which has just destroyed my car tyre, two females travelling late at night in the dark, impossible to see so we couldn’t miss it. It must have been deep to do such damage. No phone signal or wifi so couldn’t get help. Luckily a passer-by escorted us very slowly home. This is dangerous.

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.
