Pothole between Chestnoot and Brooke Cottages on Place Farm Way

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 07:37, Thursday 30 March 2023

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4375311.

An attempt was made at fixing it on 21 Dec '22. Some of that fix (a shovel of asphalt laid in the pouring rain and flattened using feet) has since broken up with breakup of the road around it resulting in the pothole moving slightly. There is a lot of loose material being generated.

Updates

  • 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.
