Water leak onto road and cycle path

Reported via desktop in the Flooding on Road category anonymously at 16:02, Thu 28 November 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

This leak has been ongoing for many months however due to low temperatures the water leaking onto the road and cycle path is now freezing into black ice. This is particularly dangerous due to its location at the bottom of a steep hill where the road and cycle path combine. I witnessed a collision today between a cyclist and a bus which had stopped at the bus stop just past the ice patch, then another cyclist slid off their bike narrowly missing the cars.

  • This water leak is still running. As the local Councillor of Marston, I have had a range of local residents complain about this leak. Thames Water and local councils are not taking responsibility for it, however, it is a huge waste of water and a potential safety hazard. Please resolve this issue.
