I am sure that local residents will be amazed to learn that the motion of my group calling on the Cabinet of Oxfordshire County Council to require our contractors to meet their obligation on highways repairs and so ensure our roads are fit for the public to travel on was voted down today at the full council meeting. The ruling group seem to think that everything is fine across the county, but most Oxfordshire residents and especially those of us living in the Wantage and Grove area know just how bad the roads really are.
The top photo above shows the mini-roundabouts at the Camel junction of Mill Street, Denchworth Road and Ham Road in Wantage. The surface shown by the yellow dashes is like a big dipper and it is so bad that drivers have reported that their cars have been damaged. The only action so far after many weeks is to put up signs (bottom photo) on the approaches to the junction! A warning that you will get a bumpy ride is hardly reassuring!
