Fix the potholes on Greenway in Chesham
Fix the potholes on Greenway in Chesham
The Issue
The Road up Greenway has become a significant safety concern for residents and visitors. As a heavily trafficked route that accesses the Pond Park and Greenway area, and being just outside a busy primary school, the state of this road must not be overlooked any longer.
The road is riddled with potholes, some of which, although they don't meet the required depth to be officially addressed, span large lengths and widths. This condition forces drivers to swerve dangerously on both sides of the road, risking potential accidents every day. This is not just an inconvenience—it's a severe hazard that demands urgent attention.
Statistics from various departments show that inadequate road conditions like ours contribute significantly to road accidents and damages, further escalating repair costs in the long run. Councils are obliged to maintain roads in safe condition to protect public welfare, especially in areas frequented by children and families.
By signing this petition, you are urging the Buckinghamshire Council and the local Highways Department to act now. Immediate repairs to the potholed surfaces are essential to ensure the safety of everyone using Greenway and protect all who count on its thoroughfare. Repairing this road will not only improve vehicular safety but enhance the quality of life in our community.
Join me in demanding action. Let's make our road safe again for children, parents, and all residents of Chesham. Sign this petition to voice our collective concerns and ensure the well-being of our community.
