Unaceptable pot hole repair
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4537995.
On the 'Berkshire' side of Church Road, Wexham, there is A very badly repaired pothole, that is undoubtedly causing damage to vehicles that are, like me, unfortunate enough to come in contact with it. The repair is of POOR quality and does not fix the problem it was meant to address in the first place. It need doing again and PROPERLY! I would hope that whoever may have been employed to fix this issue, be reprimanded, the fee recovered, until it is done again in such A manner that it will no longer cause damage to vehicles, which could easily result in such vehicles leaving the road, to collide with schoolchildren, that attend A school not 100 meters from this fault.

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.
