Investigating
Comprehensively blocked gulleys from top of oldboars hill rd down as far as orchard lane
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
They are solid…. when it rains the water is washing away the unstable bank opposite violet bank cottage . Last time they were done was several years ago you can get a small lorry down here ( that’s what they used before) but last time one came it couldn’t get to this entire stretch as the lorry was massive ( think it came from Birmingham??) so they did lower oh ones but not the ones causing the main problem. Since that time you have comprehensively ignored this stretch of rd which has resulted in the surface being washed away and carried into the gulleys and in heavy rain days mixing with the sewage system too…Consequently there are numerous potholes and the poor residents lower down hill at lindens are getting flooded out . In addition the bank by Woodbridge house is in a very perilous state now it’s being eroded by the water . Dying trees and very sharp railings jutting out at points which is a real danger to horses and their riders which have to chance their luck with traffic and no footpaths .There are three liveries that serve this area . This road gets a lot more traffic than you think it’s a rat run when Oxford a34 is gridlocked and needs to be repaired please

Although i approve of no mow may, only if it is managed. It is not an excuse for neglect. As weeds creep into paths and roads from verge, they cause erosion. They also collect soil. With heavy rain, This will all get washed into drains clogging them and providing a basis for further weeds which then escalates the problem.
