Fixed
Outside 184 Broughton Avenue
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4899145.
I have just received a message saying this pothole has been repaired. IT HAS NOT. It is extremely deep and as you can see the steel reinforcing rods are now exposed. Every time a bus, van or lorry thunders past, our whole house shakes. We reported this many months ago and it was repaired very shoddily, in fact the loose tarmac didn't even fill the hole, and had all disappeared within 2 weeks. PLEASE let me know when it will actually be repaired. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
