Voters will go to the polls in a by-election to replace a West Oxfordshire district councillor.

Labour councillor Rizvana Poole, who was executive member for stronger, healthy communities, stepped down in September.

A by-election will be held in the Chipping Norton ward on Thursday November 14, with polling stations open from 7am to 10pm.

Following the May 2024 elections the council continues to be run by a Liberal Democrat, Labour and Green coalition in the West Oxfordshire Alliance.

The political balance is Liberal Democrats 21; Conservative 13; Labour/Labour & Co-operative 11; Green Party 4.

The Labour and Labour and Co-operative Party councillors together form the Labour and Co-operative Party group.

The candidates are: 

Liberal Democrats - Mike Baggaley 

Labour - Kate England

Green Party - Claire Lasko

Conservatives - Caspar Morris
