He said: “We and our partner agencies have been doing a tremendous amount of hard work in the past week to seek to deal with the impacts of the huge levels of rainfall to which we and neighbouring counties have been subjected. I thank all of those professionals across our services who have been involved.
“While we, at Oxfordshire County Council, have diverted extra funding to flood prevention, and there is a national programme funding flood defences, the job we have to do is bigger than any of that.
"We know that climate change is accelerating, and this will get worse for at least 30 years while we get to net zero emissions and beyond.
“Even if it were possible or affordable, replacing all of our drainage pipes with bigger ones, they won’t work when a month’s rain can fall in a couple of hours.
“There’s a much wider landscape-scale and street by street operation needed locally and nationally to work out how you hold back rainwater wherever it lands, slowing down the rate at which it hits or flows down our streets, rivers and highways.
"In the meantime, we will do whatever is possible when these events occur, learning from each one, so we can react faster and work even more effectively together.”
