Motor vehicle access to Ickneild Way

I wonder if others have also noticed on the Wantage route, East of Newbury Road (which goes down to East Hendred) when you turn onto Ickneild Way, there are some new and deepening potholes on the dirt track created by a car. The tire marks show that a vehicle that look like a passenger car was driven along that path a few hundred metres up to a gate to a farmland, where the path is wide enough for it to turn back. A couple of times I saw a man there in a white minivan, apparently ‘walking’ his dog. Apart from damaging the path he was also completely blocking the full width of the path making me to go off to the soft verge to bypass him.
