Failing previous repair to a pothole/sinkhole

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 09:58, Friday 23 January 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8749671.

At the end of last year a significant repair was made to a very large and deep pothole. This repair is now failing quickly. Given the rapidity of failure it would suggest it is more than a pothole and that could be some sort of subsurface void. The pothole is in a challenging location and impacted by buses at the start and end of the school day. Quick investigation and response needed.

Council ref: ENQ261076217

  • Whilst a repair has been made to this pothole there are already significant signs of of the centre sinking. It is more than a simple pothole and requires a more detailed investigation into the cause.
