Wallingford and Brightwell Conservatives have chosen Marcus Harris as their candidate in the Oxfordshire County Council elections on May 5.

Mr Harris of Croft Terrace, Wallingford, represents the Didcot Ladygrove ward on South Oxfordshire District Council.

He hit the headlines three years ago when he did a solo run up Downing Street with a lollipop in his hand to raise money for Wallingford toy library.
