The narrowest margins However swings and roundabouts are calculated, some seats are more marginal than others. Our map (left) shows the most marginal of all, and Mick Brown looks closely at four of them, held by the candidates below

Town and gown THE SIGHT of puzzled and frus- trated motorists negotiating the warren of one-way streets around the spired and gabled gothic fantasies of Oxford's ancient colleges encapsulates the abiding concerns of this most picturesque of all English towns. Education is Oxford's raison d'etre; BL's (British Leyland) Morris-Austin works and Pressed Steel Fisher body- plant at Cowley the town's principal source of employ- ment. The fact that the issue of conservation - which is a sub- ject of constant debate - hinges on how best to preserve the character of Oxford in the face of an escalating volume of traffic adds a certain irony to the equation. With truly academic ingenuity, the town- planners have set about solving the problem with a one-way system and a method of park- ing-payment which local resi- dents complain requires a decree in logic to fathom. The two distinct facets of Oxford life are heightened by the town's geography. To the west of the Magdalen Bridge lie the town centre, the colleges and halls of residence and, be- yond, the wide and prosperous avenues of Oxford's profes- sional classes. To the east lies the second student quarter, with its book- and health-food shops and rows of postwar terraces leading to the sprawl- ing Cowley complex with its satellites of service industries and housing estates. If a land- scape can be said to reflect poli- tical division then Oxford's per- fectly reflects the almost equal distribution of votes between the Conservative and Labour candidates at the last election, Labour taking the seat by a maiority of 1,036. Fittingly enough, the candi- dates for the campaign in Ox- ford show a distinctly academic leaning. The Conservative, Mr John Patten, is a lecturer and Fellow of Hertford *, � 21 Plymouth soundings A CINEMA showing Famous Sea Battles, a film of rare archive material from the Second World War (and playing to capacity audiences), is as sure a sign as any of the continued import- ance of the Navy to Plymouth. But the local man wanting either a right-wing dictatorship or a Communist state ' to put the bloody country straight' is less representative of the poli- tical view of most of the elec- torate in the Drake constitu- ency. As Plymouth's main re- sidential area, Drake offers little grist for impassioned political debate. Not even the rumour of a National Front candidate contesting the seat can raise the temperature.

The battle plan hanging on the wall in Party HQ suggests that Labour have the numerical edge. Against the three south- ernmost wards, composed mostly of solidly respectable Edwardian and Victorian villas, which Mr Sweetland is prepared to concede to the Conservatives, are set four wards in the north, embracing the Southway, Whit- leigh and Estover housing estates, which he claims are solidly Labour - with only a

wedge of owner-occupied hous- ing on the eastern flank adding a touch of blue to Mr Sweet- land's otherwise roseate picture. Estover, the most modern estate, is dotted with handy maps to help residents get around - necessary if the story of the couple who collected the keys from the housing depart- ment and then spent 13 days looking for their new home is to be believed.

The political capital to be made from such sentiments is questionable. After all, prob- ably less than half the elector- ate in Truro are actually Cornish by birth. The local Liberal executive, for example, is made up almost entirely of ' the English': Mr Penhaligon jokes that they present him as a front-man to make themselves look respectable. But his per- sonal popularity is undoubted. The Labour candidate, 30- year-old Mr Bruce Tidy, is also a local man. But neither that

nor the diploma in industrial management for which he is presently studying is likely to be enough in a constituency where the Labour vote has declined steadily since 1966.
