and another thing. You seem to imply from the last sentence of your last post (see above) that Cllr Wrigley did not score very well when it came to the number of votes cast for him in the local elections held in May 2015. Au contraire! He topped the poll in that ward! Take a look - https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/1057/dawlish-north-east.pdf
Is it in the public domain which councillors voted for and which councillors voted against (or abstained or weren't present) when the vote was taken to elect the mayor? Surely it would have to have been a majority (even if only by one vote) for him to be elected mayor. So how can you say that "he's not popular with over half of his co-councillors".

Good work Deepurrfrontera! I only ever visit dawlish.com in order to read your posts about Teignmouth.
If this is for sale we will buy it and get it back on the sea ASAP.
I know it's just Clatworthy and Hockin. We have no idea whether the electorate see Cllr Wrigley as a popular mayor as we cannot vote for the Town Mayor.

If Mayoral posts were elected according to council votes cast in 2015, Cllr Wrigley would not have ...
It is only one district councillor (Hockin) and our county councillor (Clatworthy) who apparently may refuse to attend DTC meetings. Cllr Wrigley may not be the mayor that the Tories were wishing to have but that does not make him an unpopular mayor as far as the Dawlishl electorate are concerned.
@Lynne , well if email 1 is to be believed then cllrs clatworthy and hockin will not attend dtc meetings. best ask Prowse, Clatworthy and Hockin I guess. I referred to this on 26 apr 2017 19:01 A town council meeting where the District and County councillors do not attend for whatever reason is dysfunctional and a waste of taxpayers money. And 26 Apr 2017 23:24 If too ...
Re email one. Now that Cllr Wrigley is mayor will Cllrs Clatworthy and Hockin be attending Dawlish town council meetings or not?
@Paul i'd stay indoors if i were you.
I'm talking about ways to defending ourselves against the street violence of Dawlish but somehow I'm being an idiot. OK, well let's hear it then, what should we do?
