3 deep potholes on bends
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
3 deep potholes on bends leaving Aston towards Bampton. Tricky to spot in dappled shade. Traffic forced to wait until nothing coming the other way, to swerve around them. Car ahead burst a tyre, which cannot be safe on the bends.

Potholes till there and deep. Forcing cars into the opposite lane which is dangerous and forcing cyclists to suddenly swerve around them

Potholes are still there! As previously reported, 3 very deep holes. First one I didn't see in the twilight so went right over it, luckily my tyre wasn't damaged. Then saw 2 more. And all 3 are in such places that you have to come into the other lane to avoid as they are so deep going over them is dangerous. You also have to do this on a blind bend. I am astonished that this hasn't been fixed despite clearly being known about for some time. This is an accident waiting to happen, and given it's been brought to your attention numerous times unfortunately if it does happen it will be on your hands. Please fix this urgently.
