Letters: Still there: Buckingham's Pot-holes & Cracks
The potholes, by contrast, are clearly still there: still causing traffic to seek to avoid them.
Why?
![Potholes and Cracks on London Road at circa 6:30am on Monday 8 June 2026 [n.b. worse pot hole in righthand lane of A421 eastbound before Tesco's roundabout outside Buckingham]](https://www.bucksherald.co.uk/jpim-static/image/ugc/2026/06/10/09/2026-06-08_Potholes___Cracks_1781037986-83b0a9e684122a7b.jpg?crop=3:2,smart&trim=&width=640&quality=65)
We are now in mid June, at some cost to Council Tax-payers the tarmac has been laid and the trucks have gone; but still the A421 into Buckingham and London Road feature potholes and cracks - and not small ones.
What will be blamed for the Council's selected contractors not yet acting on these holes?
Brexit? The war in Iran? Social Media? Smart Phones? The last Government?
There is always something, is there not? At present the cause is unclear.
The potholes, by contrast, are clearly still there: still causing traffic to seek to avoid them.
And, whether the contractors were distracted by a simultaneous social media update (with the latest news on how much better life is/isn't after Brexit) or whether tarmac supplies have been delayed (by the war in/around Iran), the job remains incomplete.
For how much longer?
