Tudor fires back at critics of road scheme plan

ACCUSES THEM OF 'MISINFORMATION'

- By ALISON STEPHENSON Local Democracy Reporter

THE leader of Plymouth City Council claims opposition councillors are “stirring up anger by misinformation” over the Manadon Interchange scheme and says he will ask for an investigation by the council’s monitoring officer if it doesn’t stop.

Cllr Tudor Evans made the comment at a council cabinet meeting after asking officers if they had any sense of the scale of acquisitions of land and property that would be needed to enable the £156-million project to go ahead.

The Conservative group on the council has raised concerns that the road widening and improvement scheme could cause “years of disruption” and will amount to “a waste of money”.
