Pavement has crumbled away

Reported via mobile in the Footways and Pavement damage category anonymously at 13:06, Sat 13 April 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5847253.

The pavement outside my property has completely crumbled away. It is a dangerous hazard. There have been two accidents recently where an elderly resident tripped up over the uneven surface and a child fell off their bike for the same reason.

The issue has been there a while, but due the recent inclement weather has become worse and is a dangerous hazard.

Council ref: ENQ241001002

  • Path is awful and only getting worse. Extremely dangerous for anyone, especially the elderly or wheelchair users. Will cause accidents if not fixed

  • The pavement outside number 13 is awful. It’s a huge trip hazard and I can’t believe the Highways Agency haven’t fixed it yet!

  • I understand a Cat 3 slurry seal, has been raised for the footway.

    However, in the meantime , another elderly resident has fallen over the loose tarmac and injured herself.

    The slurry seal repairs are urgent.

  • It’s been 4 months since the area was marked with a yellow line to indicate where the repairs will take place. The drop kerb has now completely crumbled away is a hazard for pedestrians.

  • A further accident with a child falling over the crumbling dropped kerb and cutting both her hands and knees.

    I have spoken to the Oxfordshire Highways Agency and again been promised ‘someone’ would look into this. The yellow markings were sprayed 6 months ago - and still nothing

  • I have spoken to the Highways Agency every month. It has been over a year since this incident has been reported. The crumbled drop kerb does not allow access for disabled persons to cross in wheel chairs as there is no support.

    Numerous accidents have happened in the past 12 months and still no repair

  • Another incident where a member of the public (in a wheelchair), tried to make their way along the drop kerb and the uneven ground gave way and his wheelchair toppled over into the road.

  • I was contacted by the Highways Dept in August, promising this was a high priority issue and the kerb would be repaired within a few weeks. 10 weeks later, still nothing has happened and the drop kerb is now a pile of rubble.

  • The kerb has finally been fixed
