Sunken Roadway

Reported via desktop in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 10:39, Mon 4 March 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

The road was adopted by OCC some time ago. The paving style paving has sunken in many places, due to wear and tear of heavy traffic from Stephen's field entrance, round Bellamy Way into the Crowmarsh rec area. This sees high use, more so since the access to the lido area was closed off last year. The sunken areas mean large puddles form in rain. Also, the manhole covers all the way along the described stretch are now significantly raised from the sunken road. I expect they will damage vehicles soon, and/or be damaged themselves. It needs fixing!

    Here are some photos of the sunken road area, which runs from entrance at Stephen's Field to The Street, right the way round the bend to Crowmash rec ground.
