Six votes separate candidates as recount called (Image: Newsquest)
THERE will be a full recount of votes in Poole as just six votes separate the leading two candidates.
Conservative candidate Sir Robert Syms and Labour Party candidate Neil Duncan-Jordan were only separated by a tiny margin after a first count.
A 'bundle flick' was ordered after the initial result was found, with the leading two candidates believed to be separated by fewer than 100 votes.
Following this 'bundle flick', the gap between the candidates narrowed, reduced to just six votes.
A full recount has now been ordered.
