Did those of you who stood up to be counted on May 4th get counted? I’ve spent today researching the process for the counting of ballots and gathering information on the election result in Brent as I believe that there is cause for concern over the result returned in Queen’s Park ward. My concern centres on the counting of ballot papers with unallocated votes. let me explain… You each had three votes on your ballot paper....
I think we are all voted out. When I say ‘we’ I mean the 37.26% that voted. And for the rest of you?election fatigue or political fatigue disconnected, not apathetic? we’ll see. so, wither bec? much more to be done. I write this weblog and others as I am practicing what I preach: web technologies really reach people. And for new web technologies that goes double. Static, maintenance heavy websites are no good, for the providers and the users....
I’ve uploaded all the snaps I took at the count to my gallery.
I wanted to post this when I got home from the count early this morning but the brent.gov webserver had broken and was not serving the Election Pages. 404errr. That and they were still counting when I got home. And recounting no doubt. You can get the full results for all the candidates in each ward direct from brent.gov.uk as they are uploaded.
Queen’s Park, Mapesbury and Brondesbury have all turned Yellow - congratulations to the Cllrs in these wards. You’ve been trusted with them - look after them. Make sure that you continue with the effort that it took to win the ward as you work the ward.
