First reported back in April. Still not fixed.
Reported via Android in the Pothole category anonymously at 21:13, Sun 4 June 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4630736.
The pothole on the roundabout was reported in April, marked for the council to inspect, and the case was closed (which raises the question; is closing off these reports before the repair has been made an attempt by the council to avoid legal responsibility in the event of damage or injury - a scam?). It is still there, becoming worse. No line paint present to indicate it has even been inspected since April! It represents an increasingly serious danger to riders on two wheels - human powered or motor powered.

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.
