Route revealed for Oxford flood scheme

More details of a project to protect hundreds of homes in Oxford from flooding will be revealed later.

The Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme will see parts of the floodplain lowered and rivers and streams widened to create more space for floodwater.

An event is being held at the town hall today to show the route of the project.

"We are really pleased to share the route of the scheme. The feedback from people in Oxford has helped shape this. We wanted to show this information in a visual way and to do something different.

"We hope the public find the event today informative and take the opportunity to speak to us about it."

– Joanna Larmour, Project Director for the Environment Agency
