TORY CHIEF GETS TASTE OF TRAFFIC DELAYS
Tory leader David Cameron was today experiencing the Kingskerswell rush.He was to see for himself the traffic delays plaguing Torbay.
The opposition leader was visiting Occombe Organic Farm at Paignton and Babbacombe Cliff Railway.
Marcus Wood, Torbay's prospective Parliamentary candidate, said: "We wanted him to experience Kingskerswell delays the same way we do."
It was a Tory government which originally de-trunked the A380 just as it was reaching the top of the list of Highways Agency projects for funding. They then earmarked it as a local scheme suitable to be built through co-operation with the commercial sector under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI). Campaigners have been battling since to get it back on top of the priority list.
The party leader is on his first visit to South Devon to campaign in the local elections and support the prospective Parliamentary candidates.
Mr Cameron will also be visiting Newton Abbot in the afternoon to meet local people and Teignbridge council candidates.
At Occombe Farm, run by Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, he will talk about the importance of supporting local produce. At Babbacombe he will be meeting volunteers who got the railway running again as well as candidates.
