Enough is Enough!
We need action to get this road back to a drivable condition.
The main road through Kencot and Broadwell is in a terrible condition; all since Thames Water ran a new foul water sewer through the two villages over 5 years ago.
It seems Oxfordshire Highways allowed Thames Water to get away with leaving us all with such a poor road that it now affects our lives on a daily basis. Why should we put up with this anymore?
Avoiding this road is not the answer. It will get worse.
Numerous attempts have been made to report this case on www.fixmystreet.com but each report just gets removed with the statement… “This report has been closed. However the issue has been passed to the relevant team for consideration for future programmed works.” It is unbelievable that NO current open cases exist on www.fixmystreet.com for Kencot or Broadwell… Come on residents, the time to report is now!
I believe that the road has been marked out twice with white lines which have then faded with time as nothing continues to happen.
Well this is now not good enough!
The question is what to do? Any ideas?
We need more reports on www.fixmystreet.com
We need you to email: highway.enquiries@oxfordshire.gov.uk
Why not email our local councillor? Email: peter.handley@oxfordshire.gov.uk or david.mcfarlane@westoxon.gov.uk
Come on residents of Kencot, Broadwell and Langford, help us get this finally fixed.
We are concerned that this situation will now repeat itself with the installation of broadband being undertaken across the county. Will we be looking at further examples of roads that aren’t drivable once the road settles following the installation of broadband by Gigaclear? BEWARE if a road is deteriorating due to the recent broadband installation near you, report it early to the Network Build Care Team.

One thought on “Lets start a campaign!”
Great idea! Though I don’t think its accurate to say that the Highways Dept ‘let’ Thames Water get away with it. It seems the nub of the problem is that the poor workmanship by Thames’s Contractors was reported way too late for Highways to insist that Thames fix the issues, so now its left to Highways to fund the extensive repairs required. Maybe we should add a public campaign to shame Thames Water too?
