Oxford Flood Alliance has alerted the Environment Agency to a fallen tree and accumulating debris which is blocking the Bulstake Stream at the Hinksey Causeway bridge near Osney Mead. This could interfere with river flows if we have flooding this winter. We’ve been told that the EA field team will be working on the Bulstake Stream towards the end of August, and have been made aware of the problem. This should be resolved as they come through the area.

OFA is also following up on maintenance issues at Weirs Mill with the EA and relevant riperian landowners.
