Why has the bus stop outside the Seacourt Bridge pub been coned off?, 26th April
Since Wednesday, the whole bus lane and bus stop have been coned off - seemingly because at the entrance of Seacourt Retail Park SSEN have dug a hole. Why can't I catch a bus? Their permit ref is LP121530007813 according to the placard. No-one is working there to ask

30cm pothole on Elms Road, near to the traffic calming/ pedestrian crossing, 26th April
Big pothole opened up to the underlying layer of ballast; vehicles now actively avoiding it so both increasing the pressure on the margins of this road and swerving unpredictably - particularly a problem given the location, by a school and a designated crossing point.
This pothole started emerging as a result of the pothole that has since been filled - presumably the pressure on the carriageway increased as motor traffic tried to avoid the other pothole. It's been in its present condition for several weeks now.

Pothole approx 10cm long, 7cm wide at widest point, and 4cm deep, on Eynsham bound carriageway of Eynsham road, 26th April
The pothole sits a little way past the junction with Westway, and close to the westbound cycle lane. It's not easy to spot until you're on it; it has the potential to catch both motor traffic and bicycles due to position and its lack of visibility. If a bike went into it it would cause serious problems for the rider. Just spotted today, but clearly been developing for some time to get to the current size and depth.

Bins from 7 Albert St put out more than 24 hours ahead of collection, in access only bike park area., 25th April
Bins from 7 Albert St put out more than 24 hours ahead of collection, in access only bike park area.
Tenants at 7 Albert St have access only on bin days to the car park of 1-6Albert St. However, 2-3 bins have been persistently left in the car park from Sept 2023 onwards, interfering with residents free use of bike racks, causing persistent blockage and encouraging flytipping.

Unsafe tree pit with no fall protection, 24th April
On 23 April I was walking past the tree pit (opposite Dominos pizza, Frideswide Square) and at the last second avoided falling into the exposed hole. This is exceptionally dangerous and could result in a severe injury to pedestrians/cyclists using this pavement.
I spoke to a site operative of Kier who are doing the bridge works but he said it was not part of their site and nothing could be done.
Even it this is temporary, all it requires is a barrier to be erected to prevent pedestrians from tripping/falling into the hole.

Light comes on for 15 seconds and then goes off, 24th April
Light is intermittent leaving the area very dark when it suddenly and repeatedly cuts out. Because this is now a diversion route from the closed towpath, at night bikes and pedestrians are hard to see in the dark
