Failed Road causing risk of accident.

Reported via mobile in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 19:36, Tue 30 December 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8607719.

Nearly came off the road to Lechlade from Carterton this afternoon. Surely there are “failed roads” in safer condition. Not sure what specific complaint to make to “Fix my Street” as the problem is not so much potholes now but surface destruction and there should be a speed reduction enforced to avoid an accident.

Council ref: ENQ251070522

  • I am not venturing near this road again until it has been repaired and resurfaced. I am disappointed that you are too busy to investigate as the situation must have been brought to your attention by other people as well. I shall now look into how I apply to the local authority for compensation for other pot hole damage to my vehicle and will also let my local councillor (who recommended me to contact you via this website ) that you are actually too busy to do anything.
