Potholes In Wycombe and Surroundings

What Are Potholes?

Potholes are holes in the surface of the road caused by wear, weather, and traffic. They range in size from a few inches to over a foot wide, and if left untreated, they can grow larger and deeper, creating significant risks. Potholes are more than just a nuisance – they are a real safety hazard and a costly issue for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in Wycombe and across the UK. At Wycombe Watch, we’re committed to keeping the public informed about local infrastructure, road conditions, and how you can stay safe.
