Town Councillors say the electorate gave them a democratic mandate to govern Letchworth.
In fact little could be further from the truth. No councillor polled more than 14.29% of the electorate.
See for yourself, with the actual results for the wards: South West, South East, Wilbury, East, Grange.
The combined vote received by all 24 councillors was 9.35% of the electorate. That means 90.65% of Letchworth residents did NOT vote for the parish council.
