SIX stretches of river across Oxfordshire were on flood alert yesterday.
They included four parts of the Thames, including areas between Abingdon down to and including Little Wittenham, and tributaries in the Oxford area, including Wolvercote down to and including Radley and Jericho.
A flood alert means flooding is possible and residents should be prepared.
Other areas on the danger list included the River Cherwell and its tributaries from Lower Heyford down to Oxford – including Rousham, Enslow, Thrupp and Hampton Poyle – and the River Thame.
