Stratford Drive Wooburn
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4428460.
This has been reported several times by several people, including me 12 days ago. The pot holes are getting bigger. A few are very deep. Cars are having to dodge around them. The school children will be back to school on Mon 17/04 and this will bring the return of high levels of traffic on the road. I am concerned that the cars will be dodging around the pot holes whilst navigating the school traffic, which includes high levels of cars parked on the road and on curbs. This will make it increasingly dangerous for pedestrian school children.

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.
