Dangerous potholes

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 13:12, Friday 10 January 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

DANGEROUS POTHOLES In addition to all the other potholes on this road, 2 new, LARGE, DEEP potholes have developed (0.5m across, 80 -100mm deep and just 1 - 2m apart) on the northbound carriageway just north of Petwick Stud Farm. These new potholes are not visible at night allowing you to avoid them. I use this road several times a week and have noticed much more traffic recently - presumably drivers avoiding the flooding on the A417. This extra traffic is causing stretches of the whole carriageway to break up.

Council ref: ENQ251030529
