Staggeringly, that's not a bad turnout! The average figure for any election which isn't the General is usually around the 25-30% mark.
To put it in perspective, in Rishton last year we got the highest turnout in the whole of Hyndburn with 68%, still leaving a considerable number who didn't make their voices heard.
