A CALL by more than 3,000 Malvern residents for their town councillors to resign has fallen on deaf ears.
Malvern Town Council has met and agreed a corporate response to the parish poll, in which 92 per cent of people voting supported the call for councillors to resign and seek re-election on the basis of their spending plans.
A statement was approved in which the council said it was forced to increase taxes to "provide best value services and to meet the necessary standards of health and safety expected of any local authority".
Deputy mayor Whinray Coates said staff in particular had suffered during the council's problems and described its opponents as "anarchists".
