Very deep pothole.

Reported via desktop in the Potholes and maintenance category anonymously at 20:34, Wednesday 4 February 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

Yesterday evening smashed both my front and rear wheels in this pothole it was not visible given there was lots of surface water and no street lighting. Four other cars were awaiting vehicle recovery at the same time as me. This has done serious damage to my Mercedes EQE. The state of the roads around Harwell and Didcot is disgraceful. This is the 4th time for me in 6 months. The pothole is along side the barriers where road narrows due to roadworks.
