Cock up gives couple chance to vote 11 times
BUNGLING town hall chiefs have vowed to investigate after 11 polling cards were sent to an address - even though just two people live there.
Labour leader Brenda Smith flagged up the error at a meeting of the full council.
She said: "The number of people listed as living in the house was eleven when in fact there were only two people living there."
A council spokesman said: "We believe this affects two properties in Langley Green where forms have been returned to the council with incorrect information and/or after the deadline for returning the forms had passed.
"There are more than 41,000 households in Crawley so this is an extremely isolated case."
