This (see photograph) is what can happen when local authorities fail to fix roads for months after issues are brought to their attention (this trench was first reported at the start of September 2021). I drove over the trench yesterday afternoon - it’s impossible to avoid. When a damaged tyre needs to be replaced on my car, it has to be replaced as a pair because my car is AWD. That’s over £300 for a pair of all-season tyres. Do your job, Oxfordshire County Council Highways, and make this road safe to drive on!

I have reported this issue multiple times since March 2019 when the problem was created by a sewer installation. It has been badly repaired multiple times. It is very dangerous . the original contractor should be made to pick up the bill to dig it out completely and start again.
