Deep pothole - impossible to avoid
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5288579.
This is but one of four deep unavoidable potholes in Ragmans Lane on which there is regular heavy traffic into Marlow Bottom ( North). Being a one lane road it is impossible to avoid them. These are unquestionably causing great harm to all the vehicles travelling along this road. As a resident I have already had to use this road several times today and it is clear that the number and depth of potholes along this route has increased massively during the last week or so. Please send someone down the whole length of the street to inspect with a view to making the road passable again.

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.
