Regular readers will know that I don't support the Lib Dems, but when the need arises I am fair enough to do so.
Somerset County Councillor Tim Carroll (Lib Dem, Wincanton & Bruton) is also chairman of the Environment and Transport Policy Committee and has been a stauch campaigner for the strict imposition of speed limits throughout the county.
On 4th September he was caught driving at 40mph in a 30mph zone through Bayford and last week was fined £60 and got 3 points on his licence.
Clive Allen, the Tory PPC covering Tim Carroll's patch called on him to resign his position, he said, "What a hypocrite, He no longer has any credibility in campaigning for speed measures"
What a lot of nonsense. Certainly for a speed limits campaigner to be caught speeding is embarrassing, but has no bearing on his work as a councillor or as a campaigner. There is absolutely no need for this man to resign.
