On Friday 3 May, local politicians gathered at Spiceball Leisure Centre in Banbury for the results of the Cherwell District and Bicester Town Council elections. Against a difficult national backdrop, we were saddened to lose valued colleague Debbie Pickford who had served the Bicester West community as a Councillor for over 25 years but with the totals added up, both councils remain in Conservative control.
