The ward by ward results for the mayoral referendum have now been published. The results in Acocks Green were as follows:

Stick with the current system (No): 3,123 (63.2%)

Change to an elected mayor (Yes): 1,816 (36.8%)

This was the third highest ‘No’ vote from the 40 Birmingham wards. Only Stechford and Yardley North (68.5%) and Sheldon (70.4%) were higher. At the other extreme just two wards (Edgbaston and Ladywood) voted (in both cases narrowly) in favour of an elected mayor. Over Birmingham as a whole the No vote won 57.8% of the vote.
