Trip hazard, 30th April
Today I tripped on an uneven area of paving slabs. My right foot was caught on an uneven slab outside Costa Coffee as you cross the London Road Windmill Road junction. Having been unbalanced by the uneven slabs I fell forward onto my left hand and left hip, also hitting my forehead on the BT junction box outside Costa Coffee. It took four people to life me up as I was dazed. After I'd recovered (I only had bruising and pain but others in the same situation might have broken a hip) I took photographs. The area is at the end of a grooved part of the pavement designed either as a rainwater channel or a textured surface for the visually impaired. Where it meets a square metal and concrete area set into the pavement the slab has sunk in one corner producing a 'lip' between that and the next slab. In the photo you can see a dark patch/marking in the corner of the sunken slab, Without rectification I think this could be a serious trip hazard to other pedestrians.

There is no Signpot at the field, 29th April
I am writing to inform you that we live in the Bushey Lyse Close, OX3 9NJ area. Several motorcyclists come to the field next to our house and significantly disturb the neighborhood.
They have damaged the field by performing stunts and using insulting language. This unprofessional behavior by the motorcyclists has created a very unpleasant situation in our neighborhood. We have reported the issue to the police office, but action has yet to be taken.
This antisocial behavior has affected the entire neighborhood. We hope that action can be taken to prevent these motorcyclists from entering the field.
Additionally, a signpost at the field entrance indicating that it is not a place for motorcyclists would be greatly appreciated. None of the motorcycles display plate numbers, and all appear above 400cc.
I appreciate some action to be taken.

Several brutal potholes along the road where the bus stops, 29th April
There are several potholes in the road along the entire block, with a few ones (one just outside Costa and another at the end of the bus stops) so rough that they stop bikes entirely or cause them to swerve into traffic. Taking photos is difficult due to traffic but they are hard to miss.
