    It has now been 4 weeks since this was 1st reported, and according to this entry, WNC have not even been out to inspect!!! Another pothole has now formed adjacent to the original that was reported making it impossible to exit Fox Lane without driving over a pothole! Fox Lane is a "No Through Road" and therefore this junction/potholes cannot be avoided. This is also dangerous for people walking along Banbury Road and crossing Fox Lane, especially with children in prams and buggies. When are WNC going to take this seriously and do something?

  • Brackley Town Council have been informed by a pedestrian pushing a buggy that the double pram wheels got caught in this pothole causing the pram to tip forward and over. This could have caused injuries to the pedestrian's young children. Please can WNC urgently review and repair this pothole.

  • The incident stated above was preventable, as I reported this 2.5 months ago, with no update from WNC. What happened to the so called investigation within 5 working days?

  • Why did it take WNC nearly 3 months to investigate this problem, it was 1st reported on 26th February and then again by myself on 26th March when I stated that it is dangerous for prams & buggies!!! WNC you are a joke!
