The Environment agency have recently published new maps showing flood areas in Oxford. The bad news is that the areas at risk of flooding have increased dramatically. Making it even more important that the open spaces, which act as natural flood overspill are retained.
Oxpens meadow is one of those natural flood areas, which is one reason why we are campaigning to have this green space retained for future generations.
A reminder of what happens when the area floods can be seen in this photo taken in the winter of 2007 - taken from the meadow.

That is a hell of a flood! Would be great if someone could contact me at ric.sumner@youroxfordshire.co.uk to talk about the campaign.
