    Also CONGRATULATIONS to Duncan Enright and Andrew Coles. People are getting fed up with not only this coalition government but with the Tory dominated district council and in particular the CLR fiasco which most people in Witney do NOT want.
    Many people I know are fed up with the CLR fiasco but only because they feel the road should have been built many years ago as agreed by our elected representatives at the time. Instead of this, a very successful campaign waged by a non elected group has used every trick in the book to delay the project so that it may well not be completed at all.
    The Council was Tory dominated because that is who got the votes, that may not be the case after this election due to dissatisfaction with national politics but we will see."

ELECTIONS 2012: Night starts with three shock results

ELECTION night in Oxfordshire has kicked off with three significant results.

Independent Mick Haines, a longtime community campaigner, has won Marston off Labour in the Oxford City Council elections.

Mr Haines won 877 votes, beating Louise Upton, who polled 636 votes.

It had been a good week for Ian Hudspeth, who last Thursday was voted in as leader of the ruling Conservative party on Oxfordshire County Council.

He will replace Keith Mitchell later this month.

But tonight he has lost his West Oxfordshire District Council seat to Liberal Democrat Elizabeth Poskitt.

And there was further bad news for the West Oxfordshire Tories as Labour's Duncan Enright took Witney East.
