Deep, long and dangerous pothole

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category by Paul Evans at 12:03, Mon 8 September 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8135640.

The potholes are on the junction of Downs Rd and Burford Rd (close to traffic lights). I can see that these were reported 9 months ago and are now significantly worse. Can you please fix as I consider dangerous for motorists & cyclists. Thanks

Council ref: ENQ251058380

  • Hole is very much dangerous to vehicles, burst my tyre at less than 10mph, according to the garage which replaced my tyre, I was the 10th customer that week who'd hit the same pothole. The hole has been developing on that location since 2023 and is even visible on Google Maps.
