Dangerous Pothole
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 14:12, Monday 14 October 2024
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6613273.
Large and long pothole directly in what would be a vehicle's tracks located just to the west side of the entrance to Mellors. If not seen and avoided then my wheel would certainly have been damaged and if I had been a motorcyclist I would probably have fallen off and suffered serious injury. The location of this pothole is such that, due to the continued flooding along this stretch of the road, it is not always visible, even in daylight, let alone after dark. If you are unable to fix this due to the continued flooding then at least erect a warning sign or marker cones before there is a fatal accident because of this.

Good to see that my report was actioned promptly and that the road was OK for half an hour! The road repair made today lasted for about an hour. Perhaps you will now take the action I suggested in my original report and erect warning signs and cone off the area before there is a fatality!

This pothole is worst than ever. Apart from damage to vehicles it’s a danger to cyclists. If someone cycling hits it they would be badly injured or killed. Get it right and repair the road properly.
