This junction is dangerous and for years has seen crashes, including serious and fatal ones, plus countless near-misses, as I'm sure OCC knows. It needs redesigning. What's the procedure, please?

Since 1999 there have been at least 17 collisions at this site, resulting in 12 people being slightly injured, four seriously injured and sadly, one fatality. (Sources: Crashmap, CyclingStreets, Spotted: Didcot, personal testimony, Oxford Mail).

Yet again I was nearly hit by a car coming from Haydon Road. It turned right across the junction despite road markings giving traffic from Lydalls Road priority. What 'investigations' are under way since 2021 - two years ago - when this dangerous junction was reported? Zero, from what I can see. OCC's road safety Vision Zero is aptly named indeed.

Thank you for raising your concern. Apologies for the delay in response.
We have investigated the junction and did not locate any outstanding safety maintenance issues. If you believe this junction still requires a redesign I would recommend raising it with your town council.
