Teignbridge District Council run by Dawlish NE Cllr Martin Wrigley and his Lib Dem majority and their Tory partners in Devon County are doubling down on opposition to their plans for Queen St, Newton Abbot - You know, the plans that traders and the people who actually live there are overwhelmingly opposed to - you may have seen it on the TV or read about it in our awful biased local rag.
