FIXMYSTREET IN SN6 7QG
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SN6 7QG:
12 inch pothole near Wharf Cottages, 22nd April
A large pothole has formed on the left hand side of the carriageway when travelling from Bourton in the direction of Wharf Cottages. The pothole is just before the right hand bend and is situated toward the kerb. The bend itself is prior to a T junction where you can either turn right to Shrivenham or left to the junction with the A420. The road is narrow and forms a pinch point. Therefore when vehicles/motorcylists etc meet in the vicinity of the bend, they are forced to drive over the pothole. This is presenting a high risk factor for an accident (particularly for motorcycists/cyclists) and it would be appreciate if OCC could schedule the pothole for patching. Thank-you.

Double manholes that are sunken, 18th April
I drove over these on Monday 15th April at approx 15:00 in the direction of Swindon. There was an almighty bang. There was then a loud rattling noise whenever I went over an uneven bit of road or pothole. I had to continue slowly to the Great Western hospital as my wife had an important appointment to make. The car had now developed a loud boing noise when turning. After looking underneath my car to see if I could see anything (I could not) I phoned a couple of garages in Swindon to see if they could take a look at my car as I did not want to drive it home. Unfortunately no availability until Wednesday or Thursday. I drove it home to Faringdon taking slower roads where possible. I called in to a local garage and the earliest they could fit my car in was Thursday. I have just been told by the garage that the damage was caused by a pothole (or other road defect) and that the drivers front spring and mount had been damaged.

1m square shaped hole on A420, on Swindon bound side, just after bridge, 18th February
The pothole is several inches deep and huge - there is no way to avoid it when there is on coming traffic, yet it is just after a corner, so not easy to see in advance and slow to the speed required to avoid.

The manhole cover is about to collapse. It’s going to cause major damage to people’s cars. It hard to avoid as cars have no choice but to go over it. This has been since before Christmas that this has been like this

Dangerous flooding, 5th January
There is always a high risk of floods on this section of the A420 both sides of the road. This is a very big concern as some day very soon someone will die as a result of poor drainage.
The massive concern is that a RTC will occur and the council could have done something to prevent someone getting killed as a result of the poor rainwater drainage.
All I'm asking is something to be done long term about this issue as it's very very dangerous for road users.
Many thanks,
J.Smyth

150mm deed pothole 1m long 0.5m wide, 4th January
Pothole is so deep and sharp it bursts tyres and breaks wheels. It sits where water gathers on the corner and is impossible to see as it is hidden by puddle water. The road has been damaged for some months and the hole has become very large and dangerous
