Pothole stretching across half of the carriageway

Reported via desktop in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 11:47, Friday 6 February 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8852448.

As you approach the traffic lights on Marcham Road, Abingdon near to the hospital heading out of Abingdon, the carriageway now has a pot hole canyon across the hole left hand side part of the road and this along with the as yet unrepaired pothole canyon at the hospital entrance is now causing traffic to cross over into the inbound traffic and debris from the pothole canyon is spread all over the road surface

Council ref: ENQ261081233

  • Really large group of potholes and pretty much impossible to avoid. Luckily was going very slowly due to traffic so saw them in the rain but still had to slow down even further to walking pace to get across them without damaging the car.

  • These HUGE potholes are right the way across the road. Unable to avoid driving into them as so numerous but had to slow down to a virtual stop to avoid any vehicle damage. Accident waiting to happen and damage to vehicles very likely. Please fix urgently with substantial road surface not just loose gravel!

  • The series of deep potholes on the west bound roadway (before the traffic lights and close to the already significantly damaged roadway at the hospital entrance) has deteriorated further. It is slowing traffic down leaving Abingdon, creating queues, as they try to negotiate around the deep potholes which now stretch across the whole of the west bound carriageway.
