30/03/2020 10:17Thank you for your enquiry regarding potholes located within Oxford Road carriageway (Close to 70)
Please be aware for a pothole to be considered a safety defect it has to be at least 50mm in depth (this apply's to all our carriageways across the Reading borough).
Not all defects therefore will be classed as safety defects since they will not be of sufficient severity to warrant action at present (which is the case for Oxford Road- Inspected on 30/03/2020 ).
This does not mean that there are no defects present. Although this may sometimes give the impression that we are ignoring problems, we have to prioritise our limited maintenance funding and cannot fix all defects reported to us.
Rest assured this road is constantly monitored (its a route travelled at least once a week) and we will tackle safety defects when needed.
Kind regards RBC
