Labour has won a by-election for Witney Town Council.
Duncan Enright took 480 votes to take the East Ward. Liberal Democrat Mark Balaam got 123 votes and the Green Party's Kate Griffin got 117.
Turnout was 12.66 per cent.
The council had been criticised for not issuing polling cards to save cash. Critics said voters would not know the election was taking place.
The election was called after Conservative Louise Chapman was disqualified for not attending a single meeting in six months.
The Tories refused to field a candidate, saying the poll was a waste of cash as all seats are up for election in May.
