Institute Road right outside the children's park area

Reported via mobile in the Pothole category anonymously at 01:04, Thursday 20 April 2023

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4464097.

Large deep pothole near to the curb on Institute Road outside the the children’s park area. It is a busy road so if traffic is coming both ways at the same time you have to drive into the pothole to keep the traffic moving as it is too dangerous to pull onto the opposite side of the road to avoid it.

  • 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.
