Opposite the COOP

Reported via desktop in the Manhole category anonymously at 20:49, Saturday 10 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

Opposite the coop store heading towards Headington roundabout just over the zebra crossing are very sunken drains that have such a drop it sets my dashcam off thinking it is a collision. This is deep enough to cause tyre and suspension damage to a vehicle and causing people to swerve onto the opposite side of the road if clear in order to avoid it making it a high risk fault and will cause an accident.

Council ref: ENQ261072064

  • Sadly I cant get there to take a photo as nowhere to park nearby since the closure of the COOP but the drain is probably the 2nd drain on the side of Bury Knowle Park not far from the main gates, you can't miss it and will know it is there when driving over/in it. Nearest car park for me to use is £2.40 for an hours parking which I am not paying to take a photo of a collapsed drain.
