The Result of the Community Ballot
After almost 3 weeks of tension as the community of Bute voted in what has been the biggest community ballot of it’s kind in Scotland the votes have been counted and the result is in.
VOTES CAST - 2739
That’s a 52.5% turnout
YES votes - 2557
NO votes - 177
Spoiled Paper - 5
That’s an overwhelming YES from the people of Bute.
Thank you and now let’s get on and get this project off the ground for real.
