In a letter to the MP, the mayor of Shefford Town Council has called on Nadine Dorries to resign.
Shefford town mayor Ken Pollard wrote: ‘I have been asked to write to you formally on behalf of the residents of Shefford to raise the towns concerns and frustrations at the continuing lack of representation for the people of Mid-Bedfordshire in Westminster’.
Mr Pollard said: ‘residents of Shefford feel that, due to your scant interest in your constituency, your aversion to attending local events or services and your lack of a maintained constituency office, the local area has been “abandoned” by yourself’.
The mayor noted that nine weeks had passed since Ms Dorries announced her intention to stand down as MP with immediate effect.
He added: ‘Shefford Town Council calls on you to honour your commitment and tender your resignation immediately’.
