Pothole on left side of Cokes Lane, approx 150 metres up the road from Harewood Downs GC
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 10:36, Sat 18 November 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5226397.
Approx 10 cm deep, 25 cm long, 20 cm wide. The location is dangerous because at that point Cokes Lane is very narrow and if there is another car coming in the opposite direction, one would be forced close to or into the pothole

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.
