Many potholes in approx 75-100metres of Chestnut Close.

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category by Judith Cyster at 14:25, Mon 27 November 2023

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5257157.

Some of these potholes vary in depth and you may consider not deep enough but due to school parents parking there twice a day it won’t take long before they’re as deep. The first part of the road needs to be fully resurfaced as trying to avoid the potholes can potentially cause scratching/bumping to the twice daily park cars.

  • 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.
