Nearly two thirds of Hitchin voters are 'Bregretful' at leaving the European Union, according to a national poll.

A survey of voters in Conservative MP's Bim Afolami's Hitchin and Harpenden constituency has revealed the majority think Brexit was a mistake. 

To mark the third anniversary of the UK leaving the EU, a new poll has suggested the majority of voters in our area believe Brexit was an error.

The poll showed a whopping 61% in the Hitchin and Harpenden constituency agreed when asked the question: "Britain was wrong to leave the EU - agree or disagree?"

A further 44 per cent 'strongly agreed' leaving the EU was a mistake - higher than the national average of 37 per cent that 'strongly agreed'.

survey by Unherd and Focaldata asked voters across England, Scotland and Wales whether "Britain was wrong to leave the EU".

In all but three of 632 constituencies, more people agreed than disagreed. The three constituencies that disagreed are all in Lincolnshire.

Bristol West, Edinburgh South and Streatham were the three most "Bregretful" constituencies - with the Hitchin and Harpenden constituency ranked as 145th 'most Bregretful' constituency in the UK (out of a total of 632 constituencies)
