Many large potholes - potential for accidents

Reported via mobile in the Pothole category anonymously at 17:10, Wednesday 7 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The number of very large / very deep potholes along Downsview road is unacceptable and dangerous. Given the police regularly use this road to and from the Wantage station the number of deep pot holes could jeopardise the police if having to respond to an emergency if they hit a pot hole as this could cause a puncture and / or wheel damage and could prevent the police responding timely to an emergency. In addition given the number of pot holes across both sides of the road, cars are not staying in their correct lane as they try to navigate getting past the pot holes without causing damage to their cars.
