My local newspaper is reporting 37% turnout a drop of 10%

2election turnout confirmed at 37%. This is down 10 points from 2011 which is the last comparable election. Turnout in 2015 was at 66% but that was attached to a general election which means turnout is traditionally higher"

I presume turnout will be variable to a degree across the country so you may be correct that averaged out it is similar.
