Plantation Road from the Cross Roads to the Golf Course

Reported via desktop in the Road Potholes category by Sue Hill at 16:39, Sat 7 June 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 423847.

As has been reported by numerous other people, this stretch of road is a disgrace. It's been there for at least 6 months (last time I visited). I have written to my MP who states that despite Bedfordshire County Council being given a 39.7% increase in funding for fixing the road CBC's budget only shows an increase of 5% in highways spending. This stretch of road is dangerous and won't take long before an accident occurs - I just hope that motorbikes avoid this road as they will be the most vulnerable. Is there even a time line to fix this?

  • Large scale capital works are due to take place this summer. Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP).

    We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways
