The Environment Agency have a new online engagement page for the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme (OFAS). This will now be the main source of information about the scheme: Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme | Engage Environment Agency. 

The page provides information out about the flood alleviation scheme, including the benefits it will bring to the local area and how its design will create valuable new wetland habitat. The content will be updated as the OFAS project progresses. You can click ‘Subscribe’ to get notified about news updates from the EA.  

The page also provides a link to all the information and documents relating to the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO). If you live in the local area you may see notices put up around the scheme area, and the EA will be writing to everyone affected by the CPO. No one is being asked to leave their home for the flood scheme to be built.  

If you have any questions please contact oxfordscheme@environment-agency.gov.uk.
