Swimming lessons have been cancelled today after Bicester Leisure Centre was forced to close last night due to drainage issues caused by flooding from Storm Henk.

The centre announced it would close at around 8pm yesterday (January 4) and the Queens Avenue site has only partially reopened today.

The gym and main pool are back in action but the learner pool has remained closed meaning some swimming lessons have been cancelled.

A statement from the leisure centre said: "Due to the scale of the flooding from last night and despite our best efforts the learner pool will remain closed until further notice.

"This means that unfortunately some of the swimming lessons that take place in the learner pool will be cancelled for both today and tomorrow however we have moved some lessons into the main pool.

"You will be contacted directly by the centre if your lessons have been moved."
