Parish councils: All the Oxfordshire meetings you can attend

The chaotic meeting showed videos of members of a parish council meeting from Handforth, near Cheshire, arguing about whether the meeting was ‘illegal’, whilst other parish councillors burst in hysterical laughter.

Some councillors were even reprimanded.

When chairman Brian Tolver refused to accept the legitimacy of the meeting, and labelled himself ‘clerk’. Another member, Jackie Weaver, stated that because the chairman had declared he was the ‘clerk’ she asked everyone to call her ‘Britney Spears’.  

The chairman went on to tell Ms Weaver she had ‘no authority’ which led to him subsequently being removed from the meeting and being placed in a virtual waiting room.

If you fancy some lockdown entertainment you are free to join a local parish council meeting.
