The green verges have been worn away over the last couple of months.

Reported via mobile in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 14:22, Fri 29 March 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5782256.

Over the past few months the verges have been worn away as cars have gone off the tarmac part of the road, particularly when two cars/coaches try to pass on this narrow part of Elm Tree Walk. The result is that along most of this narrow part of the road runnels have appeared alongside and exposed sizeable stones. The verges are now no further than around 12 cm from the old walls in some places. It is possible that these old stone walls could therefore become unstable and collapse. This has already happened on a narrow section of Barrow Road. A situation not helped by the many coaches that use this road to avoid the traffic delays at the Barrow/Faringdon Road junction. I understand that the verges should be in the region of around 35 cm.
