SANDY Lovatt is blaming spending cuts by the Tory national government for his loss of his county council seat.

Hello! There are two big local issues on the doorstep of his former North Abingdon seat.

The failure to build the long promised Lodge Hill A34 interchange and the building on a huge swath of Green Belt because of dubious ‘exceptional circumstances’.

The winning Lib Dem candidate knew these local issues and bucked the national trend.

Time that Sandy Lovatt retired to enjoy what is left of the Green Belt.
