Thames Water has finished clearing 1,900m of sewage pipes between South Hinksey and Kennington.

The project aimed to tackle drainage problems after sewage and flooding caused misery in South Hinksey last November and December.

Ten Thames Valley workmen spent six weeks clearing the pipes, surveying CCTV and installing seven flow monitors. They finished the work on Wednesday.

The flow monitors are to be analysed by Thames Water over the next few months to see if there are any problems in the pipes which caused the flooding.
