Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
Due to current budget constraints, we are having to prioritise repairs for defects that pose higher risks in accordance with our Network Management Maintenance Plan assessment criteria, the details of which can be found online http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspxAfter inspecting the reported issue, our engineers have determined that this doesn't currently feature as a priority for repair.
The photo attached is on the edging/verge at the far end of the road, affecting access to minimal properties, and likely was caused by farm vehicles who need access to that far end of the road. The defect is easily avoidable and isnt causing safety issues for anyone else as it isnt a through road except for the farm, so Im not looking at doing any works on this in the foreseeable.
Rest assured, we'll continue to monitor the defect during future inspections. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your report.
Many thanks,

Customer called not happy with the last response from Highways.
They advised the whole road is in terrible condition and it has been an issue for over a year.
They advised that parts of the road have collapsed and fills with water when it rains.
They advised that the potholes have lots of little stones in them which are thrown up when people drive through it.
The customer advised that the road has been reported several times before and they always get the same response.
Customer has asked to be contacted so they can arrange for to meet with the inspector and discuss it in person.
