Worst road surface I've driven on

Reported via desktop in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 12:39, Mon 27 November 2023

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5256969.

Are there any plans to improve the road surface leading up from the Milton Interchange to the Steventon traffic lights, and beyond? It's the worst road surface I've ever driven on.

Council ref: ENQ23981996

  • I totally agree with the previous comments. Having recently moved over from Newbury I have had two punctures in six weeks. The road is in an appalling state of disrepair. Cracks everywhere and a very uneven surface. It needs the whole road resurfacing.

  • Appalling state of the road here. Simply unforgivable in 2024 to have to traverse a road in this state. Needs fixing.

  • This road between the packhorse and the Milton Interchange has been poorly surfaced and neglected for years. I've noticed that this is increasingly becoming a dangerous road to drive on and needs a full resurfacing to level it out as the inconsistent surface affects braking distance and general handling for motor vehicles. This is an accident waiting to happen for a motorbike or a cyclist or anyone driving a car that isn't an SUV.
