LH lane at traffic lights on junction of Aston Clinton Road and New Road
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 09:36, Thu 8 June 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4645798.
A combination of a deep pothole and a much larger pothole and surface defect just over 2.4m wide. This is unavoidable when travelling away from Aylesbury in the LH lane at the traffic lights at this junction. Traffic consistantly hits this at the speed limit and because of the level of traffic and the extent of the pothole defect it cannot be avoided. Adjacent ground shakes as lorries buses and cars pas over this hole. I believe this is responsible for suspension damage sustained by our car.

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.
