Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8836179.
Continuous parking on the verge of vans and goods vehicles have completely worn away the pavement surface causing localised flooding. This has been going on for months but during the winter has gotten much worse.

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.

Under Section 131 of the Highways Act 1980 it is an offence to cause damage to the Public Highway. If the owner of the vehicle can be identified we will write to them and request that they stop parking the vehicle on the Public Highway and, make good the verge with top soil and seed so as to remove the cause or likelihood of danger, obstruction or interference to the users of the Highway.
In most cases the work is carried out very quickly by the owner/occupier, but in some instances this can be a lengthier process but be assured we will follow due process to ensure the work is carried out.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
