I wouldn’t call wards micro-level personally. The vast majority have at least two or three thousand voters in them, and lots have many thousands more than that. The ONS is after all allowed to publish far more personal data about population on a smaller level. As a genuine question, is it explicitly against the law to publish results below constituency level? Or just something that isn’t done? Can't recall the declaration I had to sign for counts. Some years back so may have changed. Parties have published results of sorts but a detailed breakdown would be frowned upon. Anything that discloses an individual vote would be illegal - signature, counterfoil number etc. Yes it's definitely still illegal to share the results in any form, even just a sample, before the official declaration of the poll. But I don't know if it's illegal for party activists to share breakdowns after the declaration, or even if it would be illegal for the council to give an official breakdown. I seem to recall Birmingham and perhaps a few other places gave breakdown by ward and/or constituency for the EU referendum. Where I was in Sheffield it was counted by ward but wards were paired on a table so it was supposedly impossible to know the result for each individual ward. When the table then submitted its tally to the returning officer it was the result from two wards from opposite sides of the city.

Our local ward results were distorted by the postal votes (about 20% ish in total and 60-40 towards Leave) being spread across the borough. Hebden Bridge (Calder) was much stronger for Remain than the released figures suggested and the North Halifax estates much stronger for Leave.

However I have read estimates for this area which were just plain wrong. Bootle is often reported as Leave, Southport Remain and Sefton Central 50-50. Overall Sefton was just Remain, but it was Southport which was much more strongly Leave. Both Bootle and Sefton Central were remain. I think given only the global figures were published people guessed what the breakdown was likely to be but it's just not accurate as those who attended the count could verify.

The Nigel Marriott figures agree with your observations but the Chris Hanretty figures (he's very generous with his research) are taken as gospel.

Every Yorkshire EU election count I've attended in Sheffield tallied and reported (on a big screen!) the votes by ward. Naturally, observers with their tally sheets were able to calculate estimates of the vote by polling box. I'm quite proud that I got a 10% sample at my first Scarborough EU count, with 25% in wards we were interested in, and a couple of 80%+. All this with me rushing around trying to train newbies at the same time. "You're not here to socialise, there's a job to be done!"

Why can't we have this much data for UK elections? Down to groups of two or three streets it's possible to get percentages of vote for each party for the most recent Catalan parliamentary election. Obviously there's an argument about privacy etc, and in an FPTP system is a gerrymanderer's dream, but from a psephological point of view it's absolutely fascinating. Edit: if you follow the link and scroll down you'll see an interactive map for each main party. You don't need to speak Catalan to understand the colours. Thank You! PrecinctMaps - including such of Left-vs-Right, Separatists-vs.-Unionists aso. - are provided by "ElDiario": www.eldiario.es/catalunya/resultados-elecciones-catalanas-calle-calle-consulta-gano-manzana_1_7220231.htmlPublic BroadCaster TVE has only MunicipalityMaps, but in return You can add up several parties (e.g. Junts and PDeCAT or PSC&ERC&ECP aso.): www.rtve.es/noticias/elecciones-catalanas/mapa-resultados-2021/If anyone is too lazy/busy to save them himself, but interested, then i can provide dozens of them.

Bury 2019. Changes based on 2015: C gain from Lab Radcliffe North Ind gain from Lab Radcliffe East Lab gain from C Elton Ramsbottom LD gain from Lab St Mary's Split wards are (not taking account of by-elections or defections): Radcliffe East is 2Lab/1Ind and Labour are defending in May. The independent was an official candidate of Radcliffe First, who missed the party registration deadline. Radcliffe North is 2C/1Lab and Labour are defending in May. Ramsbottom is 2Lab/1C and the Conservatives are defending in May. St Mary's is 2Lab/1LD and the Liberal Democrats Labour are defending in May. Sedgley is 2Lab/1C and the Conservatives are defending in May. Labour have lost a by-election in Radcliffe West to Radcliffe First, who will defend their by-election gain in 2022.

The map shows Ealing Southall as being without a Waitrose, but the large West Ealing branch, where they sometimes film their Christmas TV advert (leading to comical scenes one year when an artificial snow making machine was used on a very windy day), is just within Elthorne ward and therefore just within Ealing Southall constituency. I am not aware of any Waitrose in Ealing Central and Acton, apart from a 'Little Waitrose' in a petrol station on the North Circular, but I would guess from the numbers that you are not counting those.
