Opposite side of the road to 206, just past it heading towards chesham. Pothole got 4 vehicles with flat tyres within 20 minutes. Reported this to the emergency council line and to 101. Gave my brand new tyre a flat. Looking at fix my street this was reported in Dec 2022 and should have been fixed. A compensation claim will be sent.

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.
