5. Oxford City Council will have half its seats up

Very large Labour majority. Will stay Labour; though some councillors may lose seats to LibDems or Greens. Haven't had any leaflets yet, but there are the usual issues: building projects and local objections; lack of affordable housing (some connection with the previously-mentioned issue, though much building is university- or business-related); road maintenance; the Covered Market, and shops there leaving due to high rents; etc. And some people planning to vote Green or LD in protest against the national Labour leadership's seeming acceptance of Brexit. For once, I haven't heard anything - yet - about wheelie bins. There are no Tory councillors now, and there probably won't be after the election. The County Council doesn't have an election this year.
