Muddy bank layby, 25th April
For the past 18 mths there has been a caravan that parks up permanently overnight and is living here. in the past 3 months a further caravan has appeared with a truck and has cut down vegetation and set up a permanent street stall selling carvings which are carved on site. This is a mess and not only an eyesore but causes issues with cars slowing at a dangerous junction to see what is going on.

Missing cover Location HP14 4AA, what3words //award.finely.shimmered, 21st April
This was first reported to the council on 17th April but has not been dealt with as at this morning 21st April. This is an emergency but the "emergency" number provided is a customer services number and was not answered this morning as customer services is closed at weekends! The missing cover will cause cycling fatalities as well as serious vehicle damage if the cover is not replaced immediately or a temporary cover provided and the location properly cordoned off to alerts and protect road users until the appropriate agency can replace the cover. Bucks Highways Team should act now please to prevent loss of life, serious injury or serious vehicular damage to road users of this very busy stretch of road during the week and at weekends.

Report on FixMyStreet
Chinnor Road, Bledlow Ridge en route out of village towards Loxborough Hill, 19th April
URGENT. A 40cm x 20cm metal cover is missing from an access hatch for waterworks, in the middle of the left hand half of the highway, ie severe hazard to traffic heading towards West Wycombe [or to anyone overtaking and coming in the opposite direction]. Any rider on 2 wheels will crash if they are unfortunate enough for a wheel to fall into the void. The road is unlit.
This defect was reported by someone at 13h56 on Wednesday 17 April, ref: 5865453. The photos accompanying that report are self explanatory. The automated feedback explains that the remedial action will be the utility company’s responsibility. This is completely understood. What DEFIES COMMON SENSE is that in the meantime there is NO WARNING WHATSOEVER of the hole in the road [observed first hand on Friday afternoon 19 April]. This MUST BE THE URGENT RESPONSIBILITY OF BUCKS HIGHWAYS. I do not believe that any form of traffic cones or barrier has been placed to warn motorists, and which have now been “stolen”.
NB The utility company might believe that it already fixed the problem, following a report to FixMyStreet on 13 March 2024, ref ref: 5706193. The cover was indeed replaced, but it subsequently failed and is once again completely missing.

Horrendous fly tipping incident on Bowers Lane, Radnage, 16th April
A large, rusting and disintegrating container has been dumped and is spewing its contents - broken bits of tarmac - on to the layby on Bowers Lane. A dozen tyres have been dumped behind it. This appalling eyesore has been there for at least a week.

Report on FixMyStreet
Many Large Deep Potholes All Along Bennett End Road, 13th April
This was first reported in January. Since then many more large potholes have developed all along the road making it unusable. People keep raising problem reports as you close them and do not come to fix the issues. This is not acceptable considering the amount of council tax paid for very limited services received by the villages in Bucks. Please come and fix asap. Thank you

Cricket Club advertising signs, 12th April
Around the cricket club and tennis club entrance/exit there are up to 4 signs placed on the council owned grass verge. This is a hazard for motorists especially motorcyclists as they are so close to the road. There has been a Facebook post about it on the Bledlow group where I can only assume no permission of any kind has been acquired from the council. Could you arrange for a letter to be sent to them after the sign has been removed telling them they need permission for signs of this nature unless it’s is on ground that is actually owned by them. Thank you.

Report on FixMyStreet
Horsleys Green Road, HP14 3UX, 11th April
As you can see from the photographs it is a very dangerous situation for pedestrians following heavy showers. People have to walk in the middle of the road in order to pass through because there is no path to walk on. It is extremely dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. The road has sunk over a period of time probably due to increased heavy traffic. Also the side grass verges have been destroyed by heavy vehicles. The council committed to returning the road to the same condition that it was prior to the Wycliff development so we urgently await the fulfilment of that commitment before someone is badly injured or even killed.

Directly outside Christmas Cottage nursery, 10th April
These large potholes have caused extensive damage to my vehicle. As you can see they are deep , enough to hold rainwater in fact! 13cm at the deepest point, 3 potholes in one long line, approximately 2 meters in total. This has caused two broken coil springs in the car. I have had to have the work carried out and can supply proof of work.

Outside 3 Haw Lane. Near 30mph sign top of Haw Lane., 10th April
Vehicles park all day outside Christmas Cottage Nursery which is next door (3a Haw Lane). This means that traffic crosses to the other side of the road in front of my house. This series of joined holes has degenerated very rapidly. There is a huge number of smaller pot holes all the way down Haw Lane.
