Loose cover-hole in footpath

Reported via mobile in the Footways and Pavement damage category anonymously at 15:27, Saturday 10 January 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8662535.

There’s been a gaping hole around a manhole for months. The temporary solution was a rubber matted cover. This cover keeps moving, likely because it’s on a hill with lots of footfall. The hole keeps being exposed and is relying on the good will and strength of the neighbours to replace it best they can. Time for it to be filled by the service provider before someone is hurt either moving it, or falling in the gap.

Council ref: ENQ261071977
