Tories have held on to seats in Bloxham and Bodicote and Caversfield, as expected.

Lynda Thirzie Smart, the partner of Oxfordshire County Council leader Keith Mitchell, romped home in Bloxham and Bodicote, defeating Lib Dem candidate Peter Davis by 854 votes.

And in Caversfield, Catherine Fulljames - a former county council chairman - easily beat the Lib Dems' Andy Murray.

The state of play with three seats still to be officially declared is: Conservative 44 councillors; Liberal Democrat four; Labour two.
