Spring rising into footpath, causing pothole & flooding

Reported via mobile in the Flooding on Road category anonymously at 13:43, Sat 11 January 2025

A natural spring rises into the footpath (caused due to the change in geology down Cumnor hill at this point). Drains haven’t been incorporated for that water. So a pothole is increasing in size, becoming dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists in particular. The water runs down the road and in the winter freezes causing damage and danger to road users.
