Long rut in the road makes cyclists fall off
Reported in the Pothole category by Justin Greenhalgh at 14:33, Sat 13 April 2019
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1602437.
For more than two months there has been a gradual failure of the backfill in a trench. The result is that at one side there is a deep rut just the right size for a bicycle tyre, running along the road. I fell on the kerb; others will be less lucky.

Sorry the photos didn't get through; I've tried again to include them. The problem is that a backfilled trench running along the road is starting to fail along the edges - in one area this has led to a narrow gutter a couple of meters long. My trye went in it, and once that happens it is pretty much impossible not to fall off the bike. I was lucky; I fell onto the grass verge. If I'd gone the other way into he road it could have been quite nasty.

This deep trench extends for much of Harcourt Way and Harcourt Road and is in a particularly dangerous position running where cyclists would normally be positioned. This is a major cycle route linking Sustrans Route 544 with North Wantage and needs urgent repair.
