Huge pot hole, caused car tyre yesterday to explode with a huge bang. Only driving at 30mph. The whole road is a death trap and if I was a motor cyclist, I would have come off and been severely injured. This whole road is a joke. All roads in and out of Quainton are full of potholes, a serious accident will happen and it will be the councils fault!!! The council really need to get their act together and sort this out!! I have repeatedly reported potholes and absolutely nothing is happening. These have been there for months!!!

  • 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.
