Up the stream from the water pumping station a culvert has collapsed and caused a massive hole in the ground above it (like a sink hole). This is adjacent to the Oxfordshire Way footpath (bridge over the stream) and concerned as could cause someone serious harm. The area has been fenced off for safety however this is not safe and would also not stop animals getting trapped/injured. Please could this be looked into urgently and advised who is responsible for fixing this. Many thanks Weston on the Green Parish Council

    The hole is adjacent to a footbridge over a channel on the Oxfordshire Way. It is accessed from Church Lane (following Oxfordshire Way), take a left at the Thames water pumping station (photo attached from Church Lane) follow the road up and the footpath is on the left (in photo) leading to the back of The Manor Hotel. Thames Water have confirmed they are not responsible for the pipe. Many thanks
