Large pothole by side of road

Reported via desktop in the Potholes and maintenance category anonymously at 20:06, Tue 2 December 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

This hole is very deep when driving at night and in the wet you hit this hole passing parked cars. Just around the corner in Eastgate you find another deep pothole filled with water only then does your suspension make a load bang.

Council ref: ENQ251066733

  • This pothole damaged the tyre on my car beyond repair! Due to parked cars on the side of the road, this pothole is unavoidable.

  • I am a resident and park my car on this road as it’s the only parking avaible to us . But I see cars vans etc driving by this pothole and they have to swerve to avoid it . Only yesterday I checked it and it is getting bigger. Something needs to be done urgently to put this problem right

    Here is the hole. OCC will only deal with issues that have photos attached. What bugs me is the parking in the keep clear hashed areas near the school.
