BBC article - Traders launch bid to stop town improvement scheme

The traders of Queen Street Newton Abbot do not want the street pedestrianised. It is causing a loss of trade.

Why is our MP Martin Wrigley against the traders? His job is to represent his constituents interests and concerns. However he is adamant on ruining their businesses.

 I thought i read somewhere that Martin Wrigley had resigned

@Steve

What government are you referring to?

@Carer, the one that is £3tr in debt.

@Steve

That means nothing to me.

Considering that the Tories were in power when all this was planned back in October, I can only assume you mean them.

As work started in late May, I cannot see that Labour would have had all this planned and contracts exchanged in the few weeks that they had in power. 

@Carer, it makes no difference what party is in power.
