South Oxford closed at various points from Banbury southward due to flooding. River flowing into canal below Banbury lock and Shipton flood gate (the single gate before the bridge by Shipton Church) is closed.

Some numpty obviously ignored the fact the river was in red leaving Aynho weir lock and is now stranded.

It's not yet so bad that they can canoe round it, then?

Link to three videos I took the other day. Should work??

 

The meadows are a flood plain but not usually this much. I know the Great Western Arms at Aynho was flooded for the first time in 12 years according to the owner.
