I thought people might like to know the city council election results for
Headington & Marston bright and early, especially as there have been so many
changes: of the six city councillors who came up for re-election, only one is
left -- two resigned and three were defeated.
Three seats in our area were taken by Labour, which has taken control of Oxford
city council.
Churchill: Claire Kent (IWCA) lost to Mark Lygo (Labour)
Marston: Caroline Van Zyl (LibDem) lost to Beverley Hazzell (Labour)
Quarry & Risinghurst: Tia MacGregor (Conservative, formerly LibDem) lost to
Laurence Baxter (Labour)
Barton & Sandhills: Patrick Murray (Labour) held his seat
Headington: Ruth Wilkinson held Stephen Tall's former seat for the LibDems
Headington Hill & Northway: Maureen Christian held Tony Gray's former seat for
Labour.
I would like to pretend I valiantly stayed up all night, but I got the results
from the Radio Oxford website, where all the city's results are listed:
