The extension to Seacourt Park and Ride was closed for a total of 197 days in 2024 – 54% of the time. The main reason for this was flooding, though it was also closed during some dry periods for reasons we don’t know. This facility was pushed through planning as ‘essential infrastructure’ and was expected to flood on average for only 10 days a year. Oxford Flood Alliance warned at the time that flooding would be significantly more frequent than this, but our objections were ignored.
