Pothole or crater directly behind the speed hump
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
As you can see from the photos a very large and deep pothole that has damaged my wheel and tyre. This is on the left hand side of the slip road directly behind the speed hump heading towards Oxford so cannot be seen before it’s too late
Council ref: ENQ261085501
