16. Oxford City Council: slight increase in already large Labour majority

May 2018

Labour lost 1 seat to LibDems, gained 2 from Greens.

Now Labour have 36 council seats, Lib Dems 9, Greens 2 (down from 4), Tories still none!

But the big local news was the Tory losses in neighbouring West Oxfordshire: the Conservatives lost 5 of the 15 seats they were defending. They still control the district council, but there is now a real opposition (to put things into perspective, this is basically Cameron's old constituency, and the Tories used to have almost all the seats!)
