Yeh the university area voted green but then so did bowthorpe

but not costessey which is next to bowthorpe. Surprised mile cross and lakenham also voted green but sprowston and catton were reform etc

Never looked at how the different areas vote before, thought if they were close to each other they would have similar voting - interesting
