Manhole covers on slip raod

Reported via desktop in the Manhole category anonymously at 19:54, Friday 16 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

As you come down the slip road from the a4142 there are several manhole covers which have sunk and causes vehicle to lurch potentially throwing a vehicle off course. There is also potential for vehicular damage here as you cannot see the sunken drains until the last minute in particular when the slip road is clear.

Council ref: ENQ261073920
