Large pothole around grill, on bend

Reported via mobile in the Pothole category anonymously at 13:27, Wednesday 11 February 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

This is now becoming a large crater and v dangerous on the road bend. There is now a separate hole in the road that is draining water into the drain. The road is at imminent risk of complete failure which will lead to a chasm next to the drain grill. This is NOT a standard tarmac repair. Road structural failure.

Council ref: ENQ261083361

  • Highly dangerous for cyclists coming around the corner. There was a pothole here just over two years ago, which caused me to come off my bicycle and dislocate my collarbone. The pothole reappeared last winter, and now again this winter. There is obviously an underlying problem which you need to address. Thanks.

  • I was involved in an accident at this location on 03/04/26 while riding a moped.

    I struck the pothole around the drain on the bend and was thrown from the vehicle, resulting in a fractured wrist and damage to my clothing.

    This defect was already reported and marked as dangerous, but has not yet been repaired.

    This is clearly a serious hazard for road users, particularly cyclists and motorcyclists, and I would urge that it is made safe as a matter of urgency to prevent further injuries.

  • I invite the person who came off his moped to contact me, Francis Dingwall on Francis.dingwall1@gmail.com. I obtained £9,000 compensation for the injuries I sustained when this pothole caused me to come off my bicycle in January 2024.
