Hemel to Leighton Buzzard A4146

by ThePaddock

Hi

I have an Audi A4 with Alloy wheels, and I have had to repair the passenger one twice and replace tyre and brakes as damaged by pot holes - this weekend I took car in for a wheel check as there are 50+ pot holes on the A4146 from Hemel to Leighton Buzzard and I felt that the accumulation of knocks had taken their toll. I'm glad I did as all wheels other than passenger ( which had only been on a week from being fixed) have 3 or more dents, which had started to allow the air out of each tyre. I have had to take car off the road and hire a car and I am currently sourcing 4 new wheels and tyres at great expense.... plan to try and claim - but last time got nowhere when hit a pot hole on the A41 - Herts wanted me to photograph hole as proof - but is a 70 MPH duel carriage way !! - its now filled in thankfully...

Pothole location
A4146, Soulbury, Buckinghamshire LU7 0, UK
Status
Unfilled

This road is annoying me every day too but there's no alternative other than the M1. There's one stretch like an elongated cattle grid that is particularly unenjoyable. My car is off the road at the moment due to a pothole in Hemel that has since been filled in and the insurance company are claiming over £500 damage for it. You may want to contact editorial@hemelgazette.co.uk who are campaigning about potholes with the council..rnregardsrnRob
