Category E Defect - 100mm deep and 900mm long Pothole
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category by Paul Freeman at 10:52, Tue 9 May 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4531099.
Reported 19/04 and 26/04 and closed by council straight away each time, but still no action taken. This needs urgent attention. FixMyStreet serves little purpose if the council just close down the report, give me no information about when a repair will take place and dont rectify the defect.

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 creates 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.
