Road sunken - steep dip for cars

Reported via desktop in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 11:20, Wednesday 11 June 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 3 minutes later

Badgemore Lane / Fairmile. What3words location: package.correctly.master

The tarmac at this junction has significantly sunken, creating a steep dip that poses a hazard for vehicles turning from Badgemore Lane onto Fair Mile.

This dip causes cars to lurch forward, leading to potential damage to vehicles and posing a risk to drivers and passengers. Given the frequency of traffic at this intersection, it is crucial that this issue be addressed promptly to ensure the safety of all road users. As this is a residential area, it is highly frequented by parents with children on board.

I kindly request that the affected area be resurfaced as soon as possible to eliminate the dip and restore a smooth transition for vehicles. Your immediate attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated and would contribute significantly to the safety of our children and well-being of the community. Sure, here is the improved sentence:

Your immediate attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated and would contribute significantly to the safety of our children and the well-being of the community. Additionally, it will ensure safer passage for ambulances transporting vulnerable patients.
