Councillor Davies released a video this afternoon in which he said: "The suggestion by Owen Paterson that Telford & Wrekin Council should be abolished is outrageous.

Telford & Wrekin residents tell me that they are sick to the back teeth of politicians who do not live in Telford & Wrekin, do not work in Telford & Wrekin and do not represent Telford & Wrekin telling Telford & Wrekin businesses and residents what they can and can't have."
