UPDATE: Referendum passes with massive yes vote!
Just after 7.00pm Friday evening (8 May), after a long count of close to 5 hours, the results of the residential referendum were announced at StadiumMK: 84% voted ‘yes’ (89,801 residents) and 16% voted ‘no’ (17,133). There were 6,454 unmarked or spoilt ballot papers. The turn-out was high, at 61%.
Whilst the electorate for the business referendum was much smaller, 88.3% voted ‘yes’ (356 registered businesses) and 11.7% voted ‘no’ (47) with just 1 blank ballot paper. The turn-out here was even higher, at 63.8%.
