Residents can air their views on the way the flooding, which blighted the new year for hundreds of people across Oxfordshire, was handled at a public meeting later this month.

The meeting will be looking at how floods wrecked homes and left Abingdon Road and Botley Road, two of the main arteries into Oxford city centre, flooded at the beginning of 2003.

Environment Agency officers will be joined by Oxfordshire County Council and Thames Water staff, to give short presentations at the meeting, which will be held on Thursday, May 15, at County Hall, New Road, Oxford.
