Green group leader re-elected
12:09pm Friday 9th May 2008
CRAIG Simmons has been re-elected as leader of Oxford Green group.
Sushila Dhall, who is also a Green county councillor, has been voted in as his deputy after Matt Sellwood stood down at last week's elections.
Green newcomer Matt Morton - who lost out to Peter Tatchell to become the party's Parliamentary candidate for Oxford East - has been made secretary.
Labour have already confirmed Bob Price and Ed Turner as leader and deputy, while the Liberal Democrats have elected David Rundle and Stephen Brown as their number one and two.
The Independent Working Class Association remains led by Stuart Craft.

Please mind the dragon, I was urged. I was grateful for the warning, even though the slinky green creature, which comes complete with a crimson mouth and the brightest of white teeth, was a bit difficult to miss.

Professor Bumm's Story Machine: Wytham Village Hall
This is a great show for children of all ages, even those drawing their pension! In the Village Hall at Wytham The Story Machine had the audience in stitches. Professor Ivor Bumm and his assistant Dr Willy Whee were there to present their new invention – a machine that could tell any story, with special brilliant effects and a cast of hundreds of androids.
