Firefighters were called to a department store in Witney today when the shop was hit by flooding.

The flooding at Debenhams, in the new Marriotts Walk shopping centre, covered about 100 square metres and was 1cm deep.

Two fire engines attended at about 2.30pm, and crews isolated the store’s electrics before using a pump to clear the water.

Nobody from the store was available to comment on the cause of the flooding.
