Huge unmarked potholes
Reported via mobile in the Pothole category anonymously at 08:38, Wed 16 October 2024
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
There are huge potholes that have been cut out square, with no lines around them. Last night I drove home in the dark and these were not at all visible and two gashes have been caused in my wheel. I would like this fixed immediately please and a discussion around claiming for the cost of the repairs to my vehicle as this is incredibly negligent.

These potholes are EXTREMELEY DANGEROUS causing vehicles to swerve on a very busy road. They have been like that for several weeks now and should be repaired URGENTLY. A very dangerous road to have a puncture/breakdown,

Hello, I am the person who provided the original report. Unfortunately I am unable to send a photo as it is on a very busy road with no footpath and it would not be safe to stop at all.
To describe the pot hole - as you drive out of Chazey Heath in the direction of Wallingford the road curves and dips downwards. Towards the bottom of the hill on the left hand side of the road, on a bend, there is a large pothole. This is unmarked and not visible in the dark. This is what I hit the other day and it ripped my tyre in two places. This is incredibly dangerous.
