Verge encroachment reducing carriageway width
Reported via desktop in the Hedges category anonymously at 15:41, Wednesday 24 June 2026
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
The verge on Woodstock Road East, Begbroke, has progressively encroached onto the carriageway, significantly reducing the usable road width. At this location, two vehicles can no longer pass safely. One vehicle generally has to stop to allow the other to pass. Drivers frequently mount the footway to avoid oncoming traffic, creating an unnecessary risk to pedestrians.
