On junction turning into the road leading to Steeple Claydon
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4600501.
There are several holes that have been there since the winter and haven't been repaired yet. Right on the white lines. When riding my motorcycle and turning into this junction, the potholes pull the steering around and leads me to move off line. Trying to get a good line to enter the junction when there are cars waiting to exit leads to extra concentration to cope with the road surface rather that watching the other road users actions. therefore, I am reporting these holes as a hazard to my safety. Many thanks

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.
