The meeting last night (11th March) was disrupted by unknown individual shouting comments about the IRA.
Burntwood Town Council hosts its meetings on Zoom, inviting residents to attend using a link published on the agenda.

But the fundraiser’s family confirmed his death today (2nd February) after he had been admitted to hospital with COVID-19.
