Disappointing result, but still got 10,000 more votes than the number of signatories required to trigger a referendum #onwardsandupwards

Impossible to call. Very lumpy because of low turnout. Hmmm #covdecides
About to go on air at the Ricoh with full coverage of counts across Coventry & Warwickshire
Well there we are: #covhasdecided, but how? Keep an eye on our timeline and we'll keep you posted #longnightahead
We will hopefully live tweet from the count. Hope we've done enough, but low turnout makes it hard to call #covdecides

@Covyes @web_bod Yep, wouldn't dispute the real winner was apathy. Regardless of the result, maybe that's something to tackle.
Win or lose, we're on @BBCCovWarks at 7.05am tomorrow to discuss the result. Imagine we won't be feeling our best #2hourssleep #covdecides
Come on Cov: an hour to go. The polling station is <5 mins away. Whether yes or no, at least go and vote #covdecides #voteYESforCoventry
ht.ly/aGAa9 Arguments for & against elected mayor in Cov. Voted yet? Still an hour left, be heard! #covdecides
The elephant in the room - whatever the result - is the whole system seems broken. 25-30% turnout is abysmal #poorshow #covdecides
Looking forward to presenting local election and Cov mayor referendum results programme on @BBCCovWarks from 10 tonight.
Off to vote Socialist Alternative for Whoberley ward Cov and yes to mayor! #localelections2012 #socialist alternative
Thanks to everyone tweeting their support so far, but come on Coventry: go out! Use your vote! #covdecides #voteYESforCoventry
Fear Coventry is going to miss out big time by rejecting elected mayor opportunity. Low turn out, plus shouting down of the "yes" campaign
