I WISH to take this opportunity to thank all the 1,174 people in Heworth, who voted for me in the election.

I would also like to thank all the city of York council staff who counted my votes at the May 8 vote count at York’s Energise Centre.

I would like to point out in the results for Heworth, as published in The Press, the vote figure was incorrect. I polled a respectable 1,174 votes and not the 276 stated.

The error was a result of incorrect figures published by City of York Council, who later rectified the situation.
