One Labour and two Conservative councillors elected to Witney Town Council
TWO Conservatives and one Labour councillor have been elected onto Witney Town Council following a by-election yesterday.
The election was postponed from May 7 following the death of former town councillor Chrissie Curry in April.
Conservative Jane Marie Doughty was elected with 302 votes, David Harvey, also Conservative and Ms Curry’s former partner, took his seat with 289 votes and Labour councillor Laura Price was elected with 291 votes. The turnout was just 14.9 per cent.
In a separate by-election, one seat was contested on Charlbury Town Council. This was won by Thomas Skelton with 251 votes.
The turnout was 18.31 per cent.
