Lethal manhole cover
Reported via desktop in the Manhole category anonymously at 10:45, Sun 14 September 2025
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8162210.
I do understand that this has been reported and previous advice is that it is Vodafone responsibility to repair. This was reported at the end of last year and many times since. Today, i was driving on this carriageway behind other vehicles - on car swerved to the left onto the verge and another to the right into the oncoming lane to avoid the manhole. This is dangerous on a 60mph limit road! Whilst the never ending wait goes on for action, warning signs should be erected and a temporary speed limit imposed. An accident is quite likely.
