Overgrown vegetation preventing water getting to drains
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
The vegetation is so thick along the side of the road that the water is pushed back on the road away from the drains, so runs all the way down the hill. There are probably drains obscured by vegetation along the road also (I dug one out, but probably missed others)

Ps Request is please can you cut back the vegetation?!

This road isn't busy with traffic, but does get used a LOT by pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders. This situation has been ongoing for a few years, so the road surface is suffering, and whenever it dips below freezing, it turns into a skating rink
