PARISH council meetings in Cheshire have come into the national spotlight in recent days. Not only has a viral clip of a Handforth Parish Council meeting gained more than five million views on Twitter, but coverage has also focused on a Penketh parish councillors’ explosive rant from last year. Now, in the wake of these two incidents, more attention is being paid to Frodsham Town Council.
What’s happened? On January 11, Frodsham Town Council conducted its annual budget and precept meeting over Zoom. It’s one of the most important meetings of the year for any parish/town council, as it determines the organisation’s financial plans for the coming year including how much residents will pay to the council.
