  • This report (out of the many for the same potholes) was raised on 16 January 2026, and had the status changed to “action scheduled” on 30 January.

    It is now the evening of 15 February, and I witnessed a head-on collision being avoided at a last minute, as the driver going towards Witney avoided at the last minute the pothole (not marked at all), and went on the other side of the road, almost hitting oncoming travel. Is the council waiting for a tragedy to happen?
