Turnpike Field Statistics – selective use of facts

This article has been received from Chris Spring. AudlemOnline does not necessarily agree with the opinions contained within it, but we think it should be part of the general discussions about Turnpike Field.

I would like to draw to your attention that to the fact that in my opinion the percentages used in the article (see  here ) whilst technically correct have been cleverly grouped to downplay the fact that in both the open the meeting on the Feb 28th & the March online survey the use of field for a green carpark scored highest in terms of drawing the largest number of votes for a single item.

The detailed tables of votes can be seen below.

The results of the online vote (see  here  for the original article) even went on to say "With 17.5% of the total vote, it came as no surprise that the leading request, by a significant margin was for the green car park" yet the published article makes no mention of this!!.

Call me suspicious but I detect a spin trying to downplay the strong local feeling in support of this carpark. I hope I am wrong.
