Flood warnings on two rivers in Oxfordshire were removed today.

But three other rivers in the county remained on flood watch.

The lowest level of warning issued by the Environment Agency, which warns people to expect flooding around low-lying land and roads, remained in place on the catchment areas of the Ray and Thame and the catchment of the River Cherwell catchment, from Charwelton, north of Banbury, to Oxford.

The flood watches which were in place on the River Windrush and the River Evenlode in west Oxfordshire were removed this morning.

A flood watch was also in place on the River Thames between Cirencester and Lechlade.
