New Lib Dem, Green and Labour leadership of Oxfordshire County Council confirmed

The Liberal Democrats, Greens and Labour Party will lead the council together in a coalition called the ‘Oxfordshire Fair Deal Alliance’. The new leader of the council will be Liz Leffman, Lib Dem councillor for Charlbury and Wychwood. Mrs Leffman will be the first Lib Dem to fill the role of leader of the council in its history. Accepting the role on Tuesday, she said the three parties which would lead the council shared ‘the same objectives in mind.’ The new council leader, who previously challenged David Cameron as a parliamentary candidate for Witney, added: “When we looked at our manifestos, we realised there is far more that binds us than separates us.”
