Broken water shutoff valve cover.
Reported via mobile in the Footways and Pavement damage category anonymously at 09:39, Mon 22 December 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8579489.
The circular cover that goes over the water shut off valve is broken and could be a trip hazard. I’ve put it in the best I can but it will need replacing, it seems to have just rusted and towed away over time.
No idea how long it has been broken for, I only noticed it last week so probably not long.
Council ref: ENQ251069741

I’m away with work for a couple of months now so can’t photo unfortunately. The cover is on the corner of New Road and Pollard place. The main body of the cover is fine, it’s just the circular lid. It’s just rotted away over time and broken into 3 or 4 pieces.
