Teignbridge Rotten Borough
Wymondham Town Council in Norfolk and their red card system, reported elsewhere and not just in the Daily Mail. https://qoshe.com/eastern-daily-press/eleanor-storey/is-this-britain-s-most-fragile-council-authority-introduces-red-cards-in-meetings/171742020 https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/05/council-introduces-red-cards-anxious-members-20594916/?ico=trending-post-strip_item_2 Obviously the ...
I agree that we should be rid of district councils. Once we elect Town Cllrs there should be a further election to select which of them represent the town at county level. And these Cllrs must refer back to the town council, rather than making decisions unilaterally. The current system where town councils are basically overuled by District Cllrs who don't represent or live anywhere near the town ...
Cllr Wrigley is busy on his social media, trying to convince anyone who still bothers with voting that he and his Lib Dem party are part of the solution in ridding the country of the nasty Tories. This time he turns to the NY Times and an article which conveniently neglects to mention that Cameron's Tory government which was elected in 2010 only got into power because of the Lib Dems. ...
Lib Dem Cllr Martin Wrigley has really increased the frequency of his social media posts as the election approaches. This one in particular is insulting to traders in Newton Abbot who face losing their livelihoods because of this man and his cabal in Teignbridge District Council and their disastrous decisions effecting Queen St, completely ignoring traders and residents views and concerns. ...
Cheap moral philosphizing from the man who wants to become our MP. The Leader of Teignbridge District Council which has regularly appeared in Private Eye's Rotten Borough. The man who offered his support to Cllr Gary Taylor and who failed to condemn his co-Cllr's violent misconduct in Council chambers. The man who continues to ignore residents and traders in Newton Abbot over the Queen St disaster ...
Dawlish Town Council is deparate for cash. Despite raising council tax, the Council ignores that the public are also cash-strapped, given we're in a cost of living crisis, instead encouraging us all to start gambling! With Council tax is going up even more, they're now getting inventive in how they extract yet more money from us all, so in this case we can retain our library, air ambulance and run ...
The inquest is taking an awfully long time. The press have reported ill mental health, which wouldn't be surprising for a young girl and the trauma of war-torn Ukraine, being made a refugee, coming to a strange country, etc. Then reports that Mother and daughter were happy and settling well here, then reports of a cardiac arrest, no suspicious activity based on her phone, CCTV footage, etc and ...
Lib Dem voters in Dawlish really ned to reflect on who they elect as Councillors. Dawlish NE Councillor and Cockwood resident Martin Wrigley, who since May 2023 has been Leader of Teignbridge District Council continues his anti-democratic campaign of misinformation forcing changes on Newton Abbot's Queen St, that the vast majority of residents and traders do not want. On Tues 27th February ...
Dawlish Town Council propose a Market in the town, or at least a trial. They require residents and traders to complete surveys but mention there is limited time. If you're aware of the controversial Queen St, Newton Abbot changes planned by Teignbridge District Council that face overwhelming opposition from local people and traders who were furious with the sham consulation that ignores their ...
@Ziggy Well done, that's fantastic. Thank you for the link. Your update also resulted in the deletion of your opening line, after I'd pointed it out; "We need your help! We need your views!" It's clear you're a Councillor. It's clear which one in particular. You don't want to discuss my reply to this topic you've posted in the Discussion section then? Or any replies ...
