THE Green Party and Liberal Democrats have claimed they will bring back 'grown up politics' if elected in forthcoming Cherwell District Council elections.

Both parties competed in a pact in seats across the same district last year, with Lib Dem Alaric Rose winning Kidlington West.

Green Ian Middleton finished second in Kidlington East.

A third of the seats in Cherwell are up for re-election.

Mr Rose's former seat will also be contested after he resigned as a councillor last week. He has moved away from the district.
