Subject: Urgent Attention Required: Hazardous Potholes on b480

Dear Oxfordshire council

I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a critical safety concern regarding a series of large potholes located on the location I provided on your map, These potholes have become increasingly severe and pose a significant risk to motorists and pedestrians alike.

The depth and width of these potholes are substantial enough that drivers are consistently swerving across lanes in an attempt to avoid them. This behavior not only increases the likelihood of a collision but also endangers the lives of all road users. It is only a matter of time before a serious or potentially fatal accident occurs as a direct result of these hazardous conditions.

Furthermore, these potholes are already causing considerable damage to vehicles, leading to costly repairs for drivers who are forced to navigate this dangerous stretch of road.

I urge you to prioritize the repair of these potholes as soon as possible to prevent a tragic incident and to ensure the safety and well-being of all who travel this route.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this pressing matter.

Sincerely,

Council ref: ENQ251034060
