Junction of The Vale and Ramscote Lane
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4538846.
Entrance to Ramscote lane from The Vale. Extensive damage has occurred to surface and kerbs where the two roads join. A dangerous deep water filled pothole is making Ramscote Lane almost un accessible to me and other residents. The hole has a sharp hidden shelf making it extremely dangerous for vehicles trying to access lane or vehicles using it to give way to vehicles on a very narrow part of The Vale. This is dangerous for vehicles its passengers and pedestrians and needs urgent attention, Ramscote lane is now only accessible through a very small 2m undamaged piece of the lane.

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.
