Green group leader re-elected
 |
| Craig Simmons |
Craig Simmons has been re-elected as leader of Oxford Green group.
Sushila Dhall, who is also a Green county councillor, has been voted in as his deputy after Matt Sellwood stood down at last week's elections.
Green newcomer Matt Morton - who lost out to Peter Tatchell to become the party's Parliamentary candidate for Oxford East - has been made secretary.
Labour have already confirmed Bob Price and Ed Turner as leader and deputy, while the Liberal Democrats have elected David Rundle and Stephen Brown as their number one and two.
The Independent Working Class Association remains lead by Stuart Craft.

If it wasn't for students they would hardly get any votes,thing is these students are not in Oxford for half of the year so we have to suffer their choice of councillers.

How can the Greens expect to be taken seriously when they elect someone who looks like a tramp as their leader? If they really cared about the environment they'd form a viable party, and not vote for someone who's only there because they could never get a proper job.

Craig Simmons runs his own business, and he is also the most well informed councillor I have ever witnessed at County Council meetings.
