Deep pothole
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category by Michael Taylor at 21:51, Thu 30 March 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4379477.
One of many potholes down this whole piece of road which spurs off from the hedgehog retreat corner. I count 6-8 potholes which i believe from chatting to an inspector in the past are well beyond council limits for needing repair. Including a very large edge of the road one created by the Haulage firm operating down this road at their entrance. (currently has water in it so no photo of depth, but lost a tough premium Michelin Pilot 4S tyre to this hole only 2 weeks ago, ive left the tyre on my drive to bring as evidence for when you come out!!!)

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.
