Deep Pothole on left side of road near corner
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4549024.
The pot hole is on the left side of the car as you approach the corner and as the speed limit is 40 it causes a large impact. The impact was large enough that it caused errors on my dash and I now have a bulge on the tyre wall, fortunately no other damage, but given the location and the fact this appears to be the second tyre issue caused by this pot hole there is potential for serious accidents to happen.

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.
