It said the river had gone on to the floodplain at Heyford Bridge and levels were expected to rise, causing flooding to properties close to the river.

The High Street at Oddington, near Bicester, was flooded in both directions on Thursday morning.

Surface water at East Challow and flooding at the Spiceball car park in Banbury also caused disruption.
