Christopher Stephen Frederick Smowton
Liberal Democrats candidate for Headington
I’ve been enormously proud to serve Headington and Oxford as a whole these past years. Serving as Councillor has given me the chance to ensure all communities are heard in City Hall, that our heritage is protected, and opportunity is fostered for a new generation needing an affordable place to live and a city that works. Above all, we need councillors that stay in touch all year round, that meet with and speak with residents every week and every day. But there’s much more to do. If re-elected, I will continue to champion our area and all residents, whatever your politics.
