Gully across the cycle path cut by contractors

Reported via desktop in the Potholes and maintenance category anonymously at 14:30, Tue 2 July 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 7 minutes later

Gully across the cycle path cut by contractors is deepening. It has been insufficiently filled and a hazard to cyclists particularly at night as the area is until. This is an issue on the cycle path from Witney to Oxford across its entire length. Some have been filled but the majority remain deep and dangerous. Previously Robert Courts MP got involved and work was done. Seems this is the only way to get Highways attention. Witney and Oxford councils champion cycling as a green option to the motor car, it doesn't appear to be the case if cycle paths are not maintained.

  • I was going to report the exact same issue as stated in this report. There are a number of these service cuts across the cycle path, one in particular is deep and very dangerous, especially riding in the dark. The contractor has not backfilled these cuts to an acceptable standard to prevent sinking.

    The collapsing gully is still there... There are two major ones, and are enough to give a large jolt to a cyclist, enough to potentially dismount a cyclist.
