Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4629880.
The potholes are in 3 main locations. From A413 going up hill there are 2 deep ones on left hand side just on the first bend. Then there are more than a dozen potholes that have been there since March the entire road surface has failed it is no longer individual potholes. Cars are driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid as so deep- head on collision is a huge risk as most cars swerve to avoid then drive on wrong side of the road and it’s just before a bend so cars have to break suddenly to avoid a crash. This should be a priority before someone is injured. Then there is one large deep pothole on the right side as exiting the top of Deep Mill Lane and joining Windsor 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.
