Damage to our house

Reported via desktop in the Blocking a private drive category anonymously at 13:13, Wednesday 8 January 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 2 hours, 19 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 6951166.

Because of the two designated parking spaces on the Glade Road end of Beaumont Rise there is limited room for some vehicles to go down Beaumont Rise. This means that some vehicles mount the pavement opposite the parked cars and this on a number of occasions resulted in damage to the house where I live (Leighton House). Most recently this week as shown in the attached photo. We have also had lorries touching our external wall. The most recent damage was caused by someone who did not stop. Having the two parking spaces pushes vehicles towards our house making it more likely that we will experience damage.

Updates

  • This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.

    All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any markings that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already be aware of this issue and have raised a job to have them refreshed if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.

    If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works to be carried out at a later date.

    Please note, the ambient temperature drops, and the air becomes much more humid during the winter months and materials won’t bond with the surface when it’s wet, defeating the purpose of applying them at all. Adding markings to a wet surface will essentially mean they become diluted. The moisture present on the road and also in the air will affect the finished quality of the markings, impacting their appearance and longevity, for this reason we only refresh road markings during winter months if there is a specific safety issue.

    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.
