Steve - This poll will never be statistically valid because it can only reflect the views of a self selected group of respondents. However, the Council will be well aware that that group includes significant number sof local opinion formers and they would be unwise to ignore it. On the other hand, based on past experience any 'consultation' undertaken by the Council is likely to be at least as statistically invalid because the knowledge of the majority of those consulted will be limited to the carefully selected information fed to them in the consultation which has been slanted to get the desired result. Even the Council recognise this otherwise the Mayor would not have opted for refurbishment last time round. I won't pre-judge the effect of this poll on the outcome of the Mayor and Cabinet meeting other than to say that it would be surprising if it results in an unconditional push towards Option 3!
