The completion of a £1m project to create a new sewer and drainage pond in Kennington, to help protect homes and rail tracks in Oxford from flooding, is welcome news.
What must not be forgotten is that it has been the selfless folk of Kennington who have put up with a building site, literally in their back gardens, for months, to provide protection for hundreds of people elsewhere. We owe them thanks.
