Motion urging the Government to reconsider carried by 20 votes to 5 Tory councillors ignore advice from MP and abstain Less than a year after winning the parliamentary seat with 60% of the vote, the Conservative Party's position on food and farming has received a decisive thumbs down from Torridge District councillors.
