Oxford MP Anneliese Dodds has expressed frustration at the long wait for the delivery of a flood solution for Oxford. She told the BBC that such projects need to accelerated for the sake of those being repeatedly affected by flooding. The full story is here. We share her frustration. In 2007 the then Environment Secretary Hilary Benn came to view the flooding in Oxford, and was photographed at the same spot on Osney Island where Rishi Sunak was pictured yesterday. The Oxford Mail headline at the time read: ‘Minister Warns of Future Flooding’. Well he was right about that. The big question is when we’re finally going to do something about it.
