Pothole next to drain has been 'fixed', but drain has actually collapsed
Reported via desktop in the Damaged Gully or Catchpit Ironwork category anonymously at 15:40, Thursday 22 May 2025
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
As can be seen in the attached photo a pothole has been repaired, but the problem is that the pipe underneath, linking to the drain on the opposite side of the road, has collapsed. So all the repair has done is blocked the drainage from the other side of the road. So actually the drainage situation is worse than before the repair. The tarmac needs digging out and the pipe fixed before the pothole is fixed properly.
