The Queen Street disaster in Newton Abbot rumbles on. District Council Leader Martin Wrigley (Dawlish NE) who is also leader of Teignbridge Liberal Democrats wants to become our next MP.  As Council Leader since May and Highways and Traffic Orders Committe (HATOC) Chair in his capacity as Devon County Councillor he has completely ignored the views of residents and traders in Newton Abbot in ...

Teignbridge District Council aren't bothered by what most of us know is illegal. Just look at how the Lib Dem run Council breached an opposition Councillor's human rights over a 3 year period, spending thousands of taxpayers rates on a sham investigation that should never have been initiated - simply because this Councillor dare oppose their dodgy handling of planning. The Local Government ...

There's no difference betweenthe Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats, ideologically we live in a one-party state. It's Neoliberalist whichever candidate you vote for; they're all puppets of corporate interest and the establishment.

Changes that his party and the Conservatives desperately want to push through; despite widespread opposition from local traders and residents, despite the absence of any truly democratic ...

Mid Devon Advertiser/Dawlish Gazette informs us that 'Labour opt out of Teignbridge as a general election battleground' Surely a professionally qualified journalist would verify whether this 'interpretation' holds any water by checking with, say the local Labour party itself - and presenting their side of the story for balance. This is just a rehashing of a post from the Lib Dem's Teignmouth ...
