Andrew Crichton
Labour candidate for Banbury Hardwick
My name is Andrew Crichton, and I am your Labour County Council candidate in the Oxfordshire County Council elections on 1st May 2025. Since I was first elected as your District Councillor in 2022, I have been trying to fix issues with our local infrastructure, adoptions of estates and advocate for residents with the County Council. I have been left frustrated by a lack of engagement from current County Councillors for our area, and so I decided to stand to be your County Councillor on 1st May. Hardwick residents should have a County Councillor who is proactive and contactable - but that simply isn't the case at the moment. Please support me on 1st May and I will always be working on your side to try and improve things locally.
