Every time there is rainfall flooding occurs at this junction. It has been reported a number of times over the last few years. The road surface is badly eroded due to standing water. This junction is in constant use as it's the turning from the A420 for vehicles heading to Wootton and Abingdon. To avoid the flood and pot holes cars are forced into on coming traffic that is joining the A420 at this point. The issue needs resolving as a matter of urgency before another accident occurs. Approximately 2 months ago there was an accident at this junction.

  • This “crater” has existed for at least three years and is getting worse all the time. When dry, if you can’t avoid it, you risk damaging tyres, wheels and suspension. When filled with water, traffic turning from the A420, often at high speed, swerve into vehicles queuing from Wootton. When are you planning to fix it? I just can’t believe that you haven’t heard about it before.
