Buckinghamshire Council roadworks scheduled this week including in High Wycombe and Chesham

Buckinghamshire Council have announced a number of pothole repairs that will be taking place over the coming week across the county. As part of their £105m investment into the roads across the county, which will be spread over the next four years, the council have committed to fixing potholes and road surfaces in a number of areas.

Although the ability to carry out the works under the road fixing programme is weather dependent, the council have issued their plans for the coming week which they hope will go ahead. However the council have said that these plans could change depending on the weather, availability of materials or other “unforeseen circumstances”.

In their announcement of the works this week, the council have said they apologise “in advance for any inconvenience caused”. Some of the works will be taking place overnight from Monday (June 12) until Friday (June 16).

A spokesperson for Buckinghamshire Council said: “This year, the council has received reports of much higher numbers of road defects than in recent years due to the impact of the winter weather, a situation reflected nationwide. In response, Buckinghamshire Highways teams are working seven days a week, prioritising the most dangerous potholes and making urgent repairs.

“Other potholes and defects are scheduled for repair according to safety criteria and Buckinghamshire Highways is working through this plan, with 15 repair crews aiming to complete 2,500 jobs per month. Given the current condition of the roads, which is an issue across the country at present, the council will also be using its emergency powers, alongside the new highway contracts, to fast-track a number of essential road repairs.

“Unfortunately, it will not always be possible to give our normal periods of advance notice, and for this we apologise, but we believe that undertaking the road repairs themselves are the most important issue at this time. We will endeavour to advise local communities and businesses in the immediate vicinity via letter drops, but if this is not possible, we again apologise and will ensure that any inconvenience or disruption is minimal whilst we undertake the essential repairs and improvements.
