    900 votes, 11% turnout, parish council – there’s 9,000 electors in a single ward for a parish council? Shome mishtake, shurely?

    Good to win, but there’s a lot to do to make sure we’ve the victor’s share on a more significant voter turnout.

  • I see there was another local election in Surrey, and the T/O was only 16%.

    I expect the weather was bad in both these areas.

  • ” … Not many Dead.”? 😉
