I hit this pothole on 8th Feb and we reported immediately. whilst we were in the lay-by with 2 flat tyres, a cyclist hit it buckled his wheel and fell off his bike and a Golf also hit it in the other direction and got flat tyres. We had to be towed all the way home to kent - took 10 hours with wait etc and had to get 4 new tyres at a cost of £1077 as I have a 4 wheel drive and they have to be replaced in pairs. I would like Oxfordshire County Council to reimburse me for my tyres. The road is not fit to drive on. The response we got to our initial report is substandard.

Council ref: ENQ261087901
