The Oxfordshire County Council website states the council has a “limited budget to maintain roads, paths and cycle paths”. In order to best manage this budget the council will fix “reported potholes based on the risk that they pose to all road users”.

The council also carries out scheduled maintenance on the road.

Potholes can be reported directly on Fix My Street or via Oxfordshire County Council website oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/roads-and-transport/street-maintenance-z/potholes?utm_term=nil&utm_content=#no-back
