How the voting went in Whitby town poll - COMMENT ON THIS STORY
THE Parish Poll gave a majority in favour of independence but on a very low turnout.
The electorate is 10,708 and the number of ballot papers issued was 565, making the turnout 5.27%.
1) Would the people of Whitby like to be part of a local authority independent of Scarborough Borough Council?
YES 422 or 75% NO 141
2) Do you think co-opted councillors should resign to allow elections to take place to ensure all councillors are democratically elected?
YES 442 or 78% NO 99
3) To avoid the risk of a total breakdown of the Swing Bridge cutting the link between the east and west sides, should all vehicles more than the weight limit of three-and-a-half tonnes be banned from crossing the bridge (except emergency and public service vehicles) until the operating mechanism has been replaced?
YES 506 or 90% NO 44
4) Should Sainsbury's be allowed to construct an out-of-town superstore on the Europower and SPC site on the industrial estate?
