THE row over the Teignmouth Town Council clerk buying a truck without consulting all councillors, rumbles on, with more acrimonious and heated exchanges.

The main antagonists, Cllr Terry Falcao and Dave Tickell, the clerk, went head to head again, with allegations and counter allegations and frequent interruptions.

An angry Mr Tickell took exception to many of Cllr Falcao's comments and was told to calm down by the chairman of the finance and general purposes committee, Cllr Sylvia Russell, on Tuesday. He eventually walked out of the chamber before the end of the debate.
