Second Town Council calls on Nadine Dorries to keep her word

The BBC reports a second Town Council joining Flitwick in calling for Nadine Dorries to resign:

Shefford Town Council has written to Ms Dorries accusing her of having “scant interest” in her constituency…

The town’s mayor, Ken Pollard, told the BBC her constituency office in Shefford closed down a few years ago and was now a dance studio.
