You can report the potholes and cracks you come across, using an online portal through the Oxford County website.

OXFORD COUNTY - Residents can help Oxford County staff with road repair.

Public Works in repairing more than 670 centre-line kilometres of County roadways, and you can let them know of any cracks or potholes online. The new online feature allows residents the ability to pinpoint the pothole location on a map, fill in additional details, upload a photo, and choose to receive an update from Oxford County Public Works staff if they would like. If you are reporting a crack or pothole, you need to make sure you include the name of the street, which lane it is in, and the approximate size.

Cracks and potholes are more common during this time of year based on the fluctuating temperatures, melting snow, rain and frequent snow plowing. Potholes often start out small but can expand rapidly with steady vehicle tire impact and wet road conditions. The County is also telling residents that if their vehicle gets damaged by a pothole, they should have the vehicle checked by a mechanic and consider reporting any damage to their insurance company.

The County must ensure its roadways are maintained in a good state of repair for all motorists as directed by provincial legislation and safety standards. If you are looking to find the online form you can click here to do so.
