Action scheduled
Pothole repairs conducted from Feb 9 to Feb 27.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9042766.
Pothole repairs along A41 conducted over the above dates have already either wholly or partially failed. The condition of the road is exceptionally dangerous, with some defects being so severe as to pose a risk to health to road users, particularly motorcyclists/cyclists. The kind of "fill" repair of individual potholes is completely unsuited to a road in this condition, and a full resurfacing is required to eliminate the risk currently posed by the very poor condition of the carriageway.

After carrying out any work on the highway, this includes the footpaths/verge, companies who have a legal right or permission to work on the public highway must adhere to the standard set out in the Code of Practice for Reinstatements. These works are guaranteed for 2-3 years dependant on the depth of excavation, if a reinstatement fails and is within the guarantee period, we can instruct them to fix the fault.
We as the Highway Authority will always carry out an inspection on these reinstatements and if they are deemed to be below standard we will instruction the company to come back out and resolve at their costs, not the taxpayer.
