Road surface failing again on bridge heading towards longwick

Reported via mobile in the Road surface category anonymously at 16:24, Wed 10 July 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6214577.

The bridges pot hole repairs are failing again. Road surface is terrible throughout but the main pot hole on the side heading towards longwick is opening up again. Last time it was reported the response was they couldn’t see anything wrong which I am unsure how it can be missed when cars are trying to avoid it every day and there is a hole opening up. This need repairing again before it gets dangerous like it has before.

  • The report has been passed to the Highway Officer, who will carry out an inspection of the issue within 10 working days, emergency defects will be corrected or made safe at the time of the inspection, if reasonably practicable to do so. In this context, making safe may constitute displaying warning notices, coning‐off or fencing‐off to protect the public from the defect or other suitable action. If the inspection team cannot make safe the defect at the time of inspection, then they will instigate the relevant emergency call procedures to ensure appropriate resources are mobilised to make the defect safe.

    There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.

    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.
