A matter of emphasis

Interesting to see a note on the June 19th Referendum on the back page (the 'graveyard' as journalists term it) of the Summer edition of the Town Council's Civic News (Issue No. 27).

Calling it a Town Poll, the note quite happily gives a percentage for the turnout (19.8%) but records only the number of votes for the count itself. It seems that the Council cannot quite bring itself to display the fact that the voting equates to an overwhleming 96·3% against the proposal to build 2500+ houses in East Grinstead.
