Potholes outside 1,2,3,4 and 6 Knights Hill, High Wycombe HP12 3NXe
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 14:51, Mon 6 February 2023
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4208390.
Over 8 weeks. Council informed, white markings were placed on all the pothole damaged road but these marks have now worn off. Trucks and buses are very noisy and making the matter worse, scattered tarmac shingle causes cars wheels to spin as they travel up the Hill, breaking cars going down the Hill is also dangerous.

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 forces up the road surface in through 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.
