Oxford City Council is Labour controlled, with some LibDems and Greens; no Tories. The two councillors from my ward are Labour. I suppose the most controversial issues at the moment (not strictly party political) are building as always, and whether and where there should be 'low traffic neighbourhoods'.

The County Council is No Overall Control, with the Tories as the largest party. The councillor from my ward is LibDem.

Our Police Commissioner (Thames Valley) is Anthony Stansfield, a Tory. There was a formal complaint about him, with regard to this rather bizarre episode:

But he will almost certainly be re-elected.
