FIXMYSTREET IN OX5 1SB
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of OX5 1SB:
Extremely dangerous bollard set-up, 27th April
This is the second time in under 72 hours that vehicles have crashed with the bollards on the Woodstock Road. I reported the first one on Thursday, nothing has been dealt with and the job has been closed. There has now been a second crash today (see images) as there is confusion with whether the left hand lane is open or not. I myself nearly just got in a crash too as a vehicle came up on the left hand side because they thought it was open. The bollards do not have sand bags in them to hold them down, nor lights or signage to draw attention to them. There should also be a speed limit restriction, 50mph is dangerous. This needs immediate attention.

Overgrown path, 25th April
For 3 years I have been complaining about this same path but nothing has changed since January when last reported except to say it has got worse. My 87 year old mother does what she can but can no longer continue and has been to Kidlington parish council tonight to advise them if this. It is really unacceptable that a person of this age does your job when we pay the highest council tax for Cherwell. When will we get value for money?

Report on FixMyStreet
Unfinished tarmacing, 25th April
All of the pavements were fairly recently re done, there was a lavender plant planted on my property that was hanging over the pavement, I am severely disabled and couldn't get anyone to cut it back at the time the council were resurfacing the path. This is directly next to my pathway to my bungalow, it is a major tripping risk and can't believe that they went around my plant. This plant has now been removed completely only to reveal the true mess that has been left. I use a 4 wheeled walker so this is so unsafe and will end up causing an accident, if not by myself, one of my neighbours may trip on. Its not only a mess its unsafe especially with this area having elderly and disabled people living in. Please send some men to come and complete the job that was so badly done.

Dangerous hanging of branches, 24th April
The trees along side the very narrow pathway are over hanging and blocking the path, forcing the public on to the road. dangerous corner and cars speed at over 20 miles an hour. unsure who is responsible as these trees are over the boundary for the property. main route to school, so children are forced into traffic.

Overgrown footpath, plus kerb stone dislodged, 20th April
While walking along this overgrown path . I came across a lady who had tripped and fallen into the road in Sandy lane whilst trying to cross . A car driver using the road did stop to help her up before I was able to reach her . Luckily, when I got to her she seemed just a bit shaken, and a little bruised . She was a mature lady and I told her I would report the incident. She thinks she had tripped on the loose kerb stone whilst trying to avoid the overgrown shrubs / hedge .
