Calls for government to improve councillor conduct standards

The calls have been made just days after a clip from Handforth Parish Council went viral, featuring a heated argument between Cllr Tolver (left) and Jackie Weaver
CALLS have been made to improve the standards of councillor conduct by a major local government organisation.
The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has written an open letter to Robert Jenrick, Local Government Minister, urging government to ‘bring forward changes to the current standards regime governing conduct in local government’.
It comes as recent meetings in Handforth, Frodsham, and Penketh have come to light, exposing representatives’ bad behaviour — leading to a vote of no confidence being submitted in Cheshire East mayor Cllr Barry Burkhill, who is also on Handforth Parish Council.
