Unsafe to get out and measure. Wild guess 10 inch x 18 inch x 10 inch deep
Reported via desktop in the Pothole category anonymously at 19:03, Monday 1 June 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9543229.
Find when heading from the Holt hotel eastwards on the B4030 just before traffic lights with Heyford Road. Left wheel inline with large hole. I was very lucky each time no oncoming traffic. Significantly deep pothole has been there a long time. Extremely dangerous location and hard to see with reduced lighting from overhead trees. ASAP cone it off and add warning signs. It could easily kill a cyclist and/or cause a vehicle crash/collision/injuries. Amazed no action yet taken. Nowhere safe to park in the vicinity to photograph, nor safe to walk there. The existing report I think may be for Westbound direction where I remember there were also bad holes some short time ago. Many thanks in advance. Fix a hole, save a crash please.

This pothole was 'actioned' to be fixed months ago and nothing has been done! This is not a 'pothole' anymore it is a sink hole! This morning I witnessed a car nearly go into the side ditch trying to avoid the hole (the alternative was to hit an oncoming car on opposite side). It is unbelievable that nothing has been done in over 2 months since it was actioned!
