Trawden A councillor has been dismissed from his role on a parish council for non-attendance at meetings. Cllr David Storey has been removed from Trawden Parish Council after he failed to attend two council meetings between June 2020 and December 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic. It comes after a court hearing in April ruled that correspondence via email during the pandemic - which Trawden Parish Council had been doing as a means of conducting their meetings - did not constitute as an official meeting and would be deemed unlawful. The case came about following the dismissal of former councillor, Craig McBeth late last year, for his non-attendance at meetings between April and October 2020.
