Tories 'heart' bypass - NOT

For a rural town Crediton has some of the worst inner-city level type of pollution.

Too much traffic in too confined a space.

Not surprisingly Crediton was due to get a bypass. In 1985/6 Devon County Council earmarked funds to get it done, but at the last minute the money got diverted to help draw in large funding to projects elsewhere.

Don't worry, people were assured at the time - we'll have the money next year and do it then.

BUT -  the next year the Tory Government
changed the national rules on roads development. 

The project had to be shelved.

And shelved....

For almost a quarter of a century Crediton has been kept waiting - until now.

Now Tories rule Devon County Council and on Wednesday 10th March they propose to bury forever all hope of a bypass.

Because not only will they officially abandon the bypass promise, but they will 'release' the land that has been put aside all these years. Once that land is 'released' who can ever get it back?

I've been helping the Crediton Traffic Action Group step up their fight to get the bypass promise homoured. This is a fight we must win.
Stop through traffic choking Crediton. Open up the Town to health and growth. A Tory Government let down Crediton's citizens years ago. Tories don't change their ways... don't let the local Tories crush all chances of the bypass.
