A MEAGRE 13.3 per cent of people in Milton Keynes turned out to vote in the Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner election.
The provisional figure was revealed by Police Area Returning Officer, Andrew Grant, earlier this afternoon.

Across the Thames Valley area, the total turnout was also 13.3 per cent. The highest turnout, percentage wise, was in West Berkshire Council (15.7 per cent), while in Oxford City and Slough Borough Councils the turnout was just 10.9 per cent.
In all, 23,992 people turned out to vote across Milton Keynes.
Labour & Co-operative Parliamentary Spokesman for Milton Keynes, Andrew Pakes, said: “The turnout is shocking at 13.3 per cent and it shows what a complete waste this whole process has been.
“At a time when money is tight and the police are facing 20 per cent cuts, these elections cost £100 million. The Tory-led government have some pretty big questions to answer.”
