As a cyclist and a resident of Harwell for 46 years I feel I must be another to comment on the multipul potholes on the Grove Road out of Harwell. Sorry I didn't have the nerve to stop and take photos of the 18 potholes in this short section of a popular road. I must play my part in pointing out this potentioally dangerious road especially for cyclists and as a cyclist I hope this report is available should I have a serious accident or even death due to this seriously potholed road. Yours Terry Doughty (still alive on 23rd Feb 2025 after cycling on Oxfordshires roads)

I have 10 photos showing potholes but I am only allowed 3 which doesnt do the number of PH justis The majority are on the left going down the hill from Harwell. Their are also sunken drains and other potholes on the same side as the road up from the flood area, potholes on the opposite of the road encouged drivers to swing wide to avoid them (a serious hazard to cars and cyclists) Many locals in Harwell refuse to use Grove road but the detour adds 2miles ,not good for cyclists
