River levels have stabilised over night and are expected to fall slowly over the coming days. The main Thames south of Osney Lock reached 3.84m at 2.30am and has now fallen to 3.82m. The Bulstake and Seacourt streams have fallen slightly from peaks overnight and are now stable. These are the highest levels we have seen since the 2014 floods, almost exactly 10 years ago.
Abingdon and Botley Roads remain affected by flood water, with impact on buses, cyclists and predestrians. We’ve had a few reports of property flooding. Some businesses on Osney Mead have been flooded while others have had business disrupted by the high water levels.


Residents in South Hinksey had a difficult time on 4 and 5 January, but with pumps and barriers now working water levels in the village are starting to fall.
Two members of OFA appeared in a BBC South Today broadcast yesterday evening, Richard Thurston and Simon Collings. You can watch the news item on BBC iPlayer.
