Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4565212.
There is a large pothole in line with the track that the near side wheels take, going towards Bourne End and it caused a blow out of my near side front tyre. It is not at the side of the road and hence difficult to avoid. It is in a very dangerous position and could cause a serious accident.

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.
