All 16 of the 2024 district council election results have now been declared. There are 48 seats on the council in total and the political make-up of the council is now as follows:

Conservative - 11
Green - 4
Independent - 3
Labour - 13
Liberal Democrat - 17

Another Cherwell change: Labour tighten their grip on Banbury by gaining the Hardwick ward from the Conservatives, with Kerrie Thornhill winning 870 to 561.

And over in Bicester the LibDems are cleaning up – Frank Ideh wins Bicester South & Ambrosden from the Conservatives, with 1250 votes to 647.

The state of the parties on West Oxfordshire District Council is now:
🔶 Liberal Democrat 21
🔵 Conservative 13
🌹 Labour 11
💚 Green 4
The council remains formally under No Overall Control but negotiations are expected for the current LD/Lab/Green coalition to continue.

LibDems top off a barnstorming day in West Oxfordshire by winning Standlake, Aston & Stanton Harcourt from Con.
Labour wins Witney South from Con.
Con narrowly hold Kingham, Rollright & Enstone with 27 votes over the Greens.
That’s W Oxon done; expecting Oxford City results soon.

Great to see that the people of West Oxfordshire have rejected the Tories again. We hope that the Alliance continues its cooperative, progressive agenda for local people.

Oxfordshire Compass

Great to see this result in West Oxfordshire.

It’s obvious the Tories are out of touch, out of ideas, and out of road - and what comes next is still to fight for.

Also in West Oxfordshire, the Liberal Democrats have retained Woodstock & Bladon, where veteran councillor Elizabeth Poskitt was facing a challenge from former Oxfordshire County Council Conservative leader Ian Hudspeth.

🌹Labour wins Rushmoor Council!🌹

The key? Single progressive-challenger wards. Labour won in several wards where they were the only challenge to the Tories.

When progressives work together, not against each other, we can beat FPTP. Next, we have to deliver PR.

#WinAsOne

NEW: Progressive Tragedy in Suella Braverman MP's backyard. The Tories hold Fareham Borough Council on a minority of the vote.

71% of the seats, but just 46% of the popular vote 🤯

Progressives must work together to #WinAsOne & deliver PR.

When we don't, it ends in tragedy.

“I know all parties will say ‘vote for us anyway’, but ... voters are a bit more discerning than that. Last time, I think Labour voters supported the Liberal Democrat candidate in Witney and that is acknowledged and gratefully received.' andy graham westenglandbylines.co.uk/politics/democ…
