2ft pothole and collapsed drain right outside the railway station

Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 16:50, Friday 10 April 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9272562.

The drain cover has collapsed and there is a major hole surrounding it. This is causing cars to swerve and there is a real risk that this will cause an accident. Also, if anyone steps off of the kerb to cross the road and steps into the hole they will ultimately break a leg or worse. This needs fixing urgently.

Council ref: ENQ261096057

  • Luckily I managed to swerve to miss this what can only be described as a ‘big hole’ by a collapsed drain today good job there was nothing coming the other way or I would have hit them, nice red paint round it the ‘hole’ why do they not get them filled straight away when they are so bad!
