It comes after a recent spate in potholes with residents 'fed up' with the state of the county's road network.
Recently, cyclist Ian Rundle from Beaconsfield wrote to Buckinghamshire Council to report several potholes which are ‘potentially dangerous’ to road users.
He shared a selection of images of potholes to the Free Press he found from the A40 to Wattleton Road on his walk on Thursday, April 13.
Chalfont St Peter resident John Davies fears it’s only a matter of time before his car will be damaged by potholes when driving around Buckinghamshire.
Steven Broadbent, Cabinet Member for Transport: said: “We appreciate and share residents’ frustration with the significant increase in potholes on many of our roads. Buckinghamshire, like many parts of the south-east, suffered a very harsh winter, with prolonged freezing and then very wet cycles that proved very damaging to our roads, especially those that have seen large increases in HGV traffic associated with projects such as HS2 and East West Rail.
"The council understands the importance of maintaining a safe highways network which is why it is rolling forward its investment of £100 million in Buckinghamshire’s roads over four years and has recently added an additional £5 million to this budget, and a further £2.3 million from central government in recognition of this issue.
"With a much higher number of potholes reported this year, we have prioritised based on safety (as we always do) and our crews have made a huge number of mostly temporary repairs until weather conditions allow more permanent repairs to be made. Now that temperatures are rising and we will have periods of drier weather our crews are now on the road network making progress on the permanent repairs."
