'Chesterfield Close' Street Nameplate is Damaged
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9377226.
I would like to report that the street nameplate on Chesterfield Close is detached from its concrete post on one side. The wooden backing plate has rotted, causing the sign to fall. This occurred during the week commencing 20 April 2026.
This issue was previously reported (9336782) and marked as resolved by a Highway Officer on 24 April; however, no repair was carried out. The sign was only propped back into place and has since fallen again.
A proper repair is required to prevent this from continuing to happen. The backing plate appears to need replacement, and the sign will need to be securely refixed to ensure it remains in position.

This has been passed to the Highway Officer to assess, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.
If a replacement is required, we will order the new street name plate and instruct our contractors to carry out the work, it is not economically viable for us to order and replace individual street name plates in isolation, we package togethers works orders and carry out the work by area this means that in some cases works can take up to 12 weeks, but please be assured once you have reported an issue with a street name plate we will attend and resolve as soon as we can.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
The process for naming a new street remains unchanged, requests from developers should be to email streetnaming@buckinghamshire.gov.uk.
