2x potholes of around 1m near garage on A40

Reported via mobile in the Pothole category anonymously at 23:52, Thursday 22 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

There are two large potholes on the A40 westbound near the junction with the BP garage, with postcode OX29 4EJ with what.three.words ///registry.handicaps.blazers.

1 pothole is about a metre in diameter. The second pothole is larger, over 1.5m long. Whilst driving on this part of the road I hit the potholes consecutively and punctured a tyre. Aside from the damage to my vehicle, I think this has the clear potential to be dangerous for road users.

Council ref: ENQ261076144
