Verge has collapsed, tarmac has disintegrated for a stretch of c20 metres
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8763049.
The tarmac and verge along the Roke road (OX10 6JD) have disintegrated, making the tarmac area now much narrower and only allowing a single lane of traffic. The tarmac edge is all jagged and there is a fair drop into the water-filled hole which stretches for c20 metres along the road. The grass verge has receded quite a way from the hedge so also needed to be re-instated. NOTE: There is a Gigaclear cable not far below the surface all along that side of the road, so any repair work needs to take this into account. The Gigaclear broadband was cut off for well over a week a couple of years ago when a digger cut through the cabling a little further down the road.

Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

This section of road is getting worse by the day with the tarmac crumbling and now the Gigaclear broadband cabling is sticking through the verge at several points.
-
This area of road has now dried out and is totally disintegrated. Our Gigaclear broadband cables are open to the elements. The road is a good 10%-15% narrowed than it was. When will this be fixed please?

Yes, the road is still needing repair. The section of road is outside Red Roke in Roke OX10 6JD. ///gums.plums.coconuts. The tarmac has disintegrated and what was already a narrow rural road is now no more than a single track road. With the dry weather the puddle has of course dried up, but the tarmac is deteriorating further, and our Gigaclear boardband cabling - although covered with some shingle as an emergency measure - still needs to be safeguarded and the grass verge and tarmac edging reintstaed please.
