Residents of Barton and Sandhills will elect a new Oxford city councillor tomorrow.

Polling stations, at the Viking Sports Club, Barton Neighbourhood Centre, Bayard’s Hill School and Sandhills School, open from 7am and close their doors at 10pm.

Gavin Baylis (Liberal Democrat), Siddo Deva (Conservative), Julia Gasper (UKIP), Mick McAndrews (Independent), Mike Rowley (Labour) and Mary-Jane Sareva (Green) are contesting the by-election.

The election was sparked by the resignation of Liberal Democrat councillor Patrick Murray due to work commitments.
