(41,209 posts)48. Oxford City Council remains Labour, with only minor changes
2 Greens lost their seats to Labour; 1 Labourite lost to an Independent; net gain 1 for Labour; still no Tory presence.
New council: Labour 34, Lib Dem 8, Green 4, Independent 1
.

Slightly further afield, Labour kept control of Reading.
