FIXMYSTREET IN OX27 7AA
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of OX27 7AA:
Very Long Grass, 9th May
The extremely long grass on the left hand side of the bend, makes it impossible to see the oncoming traffic if you’re trying to turn right towards Upper Heyford. The bend is dangerous enough as it is without the lack of vision due to the overgrown grass. This is now the 5th year on the trot I’ve had to report this!

Visual speed sign requires range adjustment, 22nd April
The visual speed indication device, located within the 30 mph village speed limit, is capturing approaching vehicles that are still legitimately travelling at up to 60 mph before the 30 mph signs. Today, my vehicle's speed was initially recorded as 51 mph, although as I entered the 30 mph limit it briefly recorded 28 mph before capturing the vehicle in the distance behind mine (and therefore in the 60 mph limit) at 48 mph.
If the purpose is to alert approaching drivers to the need to reduce their speed before entering the village that is entirely reasonable, but for any purpose of monitoring traffic speeds within the 30 mph limit (for example, to advocate for a lower speed limit) the data generated is unreliable, corrupted and should be dismissed.

Poor quality of road, 28th March
This long stretch of road out of Upper Heyford towards Ardley is of very poor quality. Multiple potholes in this stretch of road and due to the bend in the road and not being able to see round the corner when driving, this is a very dangerous hazard when trying to avoid the poor quality road to protect our vehicles. This is been like this for a long time (multiple years) and is constantly getting worse, especially with the amount of transport lorries passing through Heyford. This should be completely resurfaced and not patch repaired as you have previously completed in the past as the repairs do not last.

Two traffic cones with metal rods through the centre of the cones impeaching on road, 18th March
This a single track road which is quite narrow when two cars try to pass or when there is often cars parked opposite. These two cones with metal rods in the centre are leaning into the road which makes it even narrower when trying to pass through with a car. If you were unaware that there are two metal rods in the cones, it is very likely a car will end up damaged as they seem to be quite deeply fixed.

Raised road surface creating flooding, 10th March
There is damage to the road in front of our property forming a gully. Next to this (in front of our gates) road works have created a raised surface or hump resulting in rain water not draining away from the gully in front of our property. During periods of rainfall, the water comes up onto the pavement and runs into our (grade 2 listed) property. After periods of rainfall, the water sits in the gully and every time a car passes, water is sprayed onto our (recently replaced) windows - the water sitting on the wood frames has now caused damage to the glazing. The main issue is the hump needs levelling. The secondary issue is making improvements to the gully.
