Teignbridge Rotten Borough
Dawlish NE Councillor Martin Wrigley, Leader of Teignbridge District Council and Teignbridge Liberal Democrats is already wasting tax payers money with his plans for Queen St Newton Abbot, against the will of local traders and residents. Now he and the Tory run County Council his administration is in league with will likely waste another £200,000 of public money in the courts. See the announcement ...

@1263 We might have had a Town Council by-election after J Petherick resigned, but as 10 or more electors didn't write to the Council submitting statutory requests for an election they'll just co-opt somebody. That's if anyone is actually interested in local politics, has any confidence in it and wants to serve on a Council dominated by Wrigley. Crime Commissioners are a waste of time, money ...
A Jekyll and Hyde Party who are the market leaders in fake news. Worth bearing this article in mind if you bother voting later this year. https://novaramedia.com/2023/05/04/the-lib-dems-are-britains-worst-political-party/
Another conspiracy? Who are the conspirators?

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 ...
