The results for Spurtleshire below are drawn directly from the Council's website.

At this stage, we offer no analysis, other than to note that turnout seems to be in direct negative proportion to the number of hustings held in the area.

Perhaps seeing candidates in the flesh repels more voters than it inspires.
