Cherwell Parishes

[carolus]

Well done to Cherwell who actually put some of the 2021 results back on the website when I asked for them.

The major council is Banbury, which was fully contested in 2021 (NB there are boundary changes for 2024, and Hardwick West will be increasing to five councillors):

Banbury - 13 Con, 9 Lab

Calthorpe North (1) - Con 260*, Lab 166, LD 56

Calthorpe South (2) - Con 651*/531*, Lab 377/295, LD 215

Easington North (1) - Con 83*, Lab 60

Easington South (2) - Con 799*/729*, Lab 335/316, LD 108

Grimsbury (3) - Lab 914*/743*/632*, Con 594, Green 378

Hardwick East (1) - Con 84*, Lab 74

Hardwick West (4) - Con 799*/749*/673*/625*, Lab 624/571/561/467, Ind 330

Neithrop North (1) - Lab 444*, Con 328

Neithrop South (1) - Lab 444*, Con 371, LD 88

Park (1) - Lab 176*, Con 95

Ruscote (4) - Lab 971*/744*/685*/672, Con 747*, Green 334

Town Centre (1) - Con 220*, Lab 211, Green 77

No other councils had party candidates, or a contested election in 2021. Adderbury (12) had 9 non-party candidates, Ardley (7) had 4, Arncott (7) had 5, Bodicote (10) had 6, Drayton (5) had 5, Hanwell (7) had 4, Piddington (7) had 5, Stoke Lyne (6) had 5.

Horley (7), and Wroxton (7) had their last elections in 2022, each attracting 7 non-party candidates, but as a result of changes in the recent CGR will be electing again this year for a two year term.

By election in Bicester (LD defence) straight LD/Con fight.

Not gone through the Banbury SOPNs in detail, but they are short of a full slate in a way that is surprising for a seat that’s supposedly a Labour target.

All other councils uncontested without party candidates.

sonofkrautrock: Lab are down four candidates from 2021 (when they stood a full slate), but I'm not sure how much it's really worth reading into it.

You'd think that with a full slate Labour would have won everything apart from the Con seat in Easington South, and perhaps even that.
