2. Who does Margot bring in to try and prevent the Goods from keeping pigs?

Answer: Mr Carter

Mr Carter was chairman of the residents' association. He was played by Robert Gillespie. Margot was very impressed with the way that Mr Carter was getting things done and hoped he would tell Tom and Barbara that they could not keep pigs. She was disappointed.
