Following the viral video from Handforth Parish Council, many were shocked to see just how heated local council meetings can get.
And in town and parish councils across Norfolk and Suffolk it’s no different.
From councillors being carried out on chairs to arguments about geese, you’d be surprised to know that Jackie Weaver is not alone.

Kevin Craske remained seated when ordered out of the room by then council chairman Tony Serne and described what followed as like being in a scene from the television comedy The Vicar of Dibley.

The man behind a bid to build eight flats on the site of a former scout hut has described a planning committee s decision to refuse it as obscene .
Dan Trivedi, founder of Trivedi Property Developments, hopes to build the homes, in a three-storey building, on the site of the now-demolished Vikings Venture Scout Hut on Dereham Road in Norwich.
An application for the site was refused by Norwich City Council in 2014, but allowed on appeal in 2016. But with permission for construction having expired in 2019, Mr Trivedi resubmitted the same plans.

A divisive bid to build eight flats on the site of a former scout hut has been refused by councillors in a meeting which saw one exasperated member call her colleagues “idiots”.
Norwich City Council’s planning committee met virtually on Thursday to consider the plans for eight two-bed flats in a three-storey building on the site of the now-demolished Vikings Venture Scout Hut on Dereham Road in Norwich.
Opinion on how to proceed was split, and as a vote was taken councillor Judith Lubbock put her head in her hands and, not realising her microphone was on, said “oh dear… Idiots”.
