Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4274264.
Residents from Whitestones, Bittern, Denmead and Willows End have trouble getting in to Old Mill Road as traffic from both sides converge to one side. This is because cars are parked on the other side. A major accident will happen one day. Also the road surface is bad- road has major cracks and potholes. Cars nearby are parked on pavement as well with no room for push chairs as other side had no pavement. Old Mill Road near A40 is appalling and road rage is common. This has been going on for a few years - promises of zig zag lines near drive exits to Old Mill Road have been broken many times. All these issues are related.

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.
