Significant road damage & potholes require urgent attention

Reported via desktop in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 12:38, Thursday 15 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

Over a 100+m stretch of Old London Road there is a series of potholes and carriageway damage that has got worse over many months / years. The road is essentially "single track" causing traffic to swerve and weave, creating danger for all - especially cyclists. This will not be patch-up job - something more substantial and longer-lasting is necessary, to avoid injuries and damage.

Council ref: ENQ261073238

    Dangerously deep for a cyclist

  • I’ve just ruined my car wheel and tyre in the mass of potholes here, 25 January. No warning signs or repairs - even though you state in another report that a contractor has visited the site and repairs are planned. Someone else, Orlando, had their wheel written off just after me. Please repair immediately. Nick A

    Very deep and many potholes along this road - needs resurfacing

  • This stretch of road is now impassable. Yet the council are putting in humps in Churchill. We're blessed with a disfunctional council

  • Most holes have had some tarmac put in but the job IS NOT FINISHED or if the contractor says it is it needs checking
