A Devon councillor who moved to live across the English Channel in France is facing calls to resign.
Conservative Eve Barisic lives in Roscoff, a commute of more than 150 miles (240km) by ferry and road to her ward in Newton Abbot.
Labour parliamentary candidate Roy Freer called it an “insult to the people of Newton Abbot and to democracy”.
Ms Barisic, who moved seven months ago, asked to be judged on her performance.

One response to “Devon councillor living in France urged to quit”
No doubt the electorate will vote as they see fit at the next local elections. I bet Roy Freer is envious of someone who probably has a well-organised life and thereby able to enjoy both cultures on either side of The Channel…it smacks of jealousy. Next he’ll want the French to give up hunting!.
