A WAR of words has erupted between Penketh Parish Council members surrounding bullying accusations and the findings of an audit. This follows scenes at a meeting last Wednesday, which have since been shared on social media, in which Cllr Geoff Fellows told vice chair Cllr Linda Dirir to ‘shut up’. In a clip, Cllr Dirir stated that an audit issue needed to be addressed before the end of March. In response, Cllr Fellows said: “Linda, I’ve listened to your voice long enough now. It’s 9.41, this meeting finished at 9.30, we’ve not extended the standing orders, so we’re not even in a meeting now, so do you just want to just shut up and then we can move on.”
Every parish and borough council seat in the town will be up for grabs on May 6. In 2018, independent Geoff Fellows won a Penketh and Cuerdley borough council seat. Jimmy Robinson gained an Orford council seat from Labour, as an independent, in the 1990s. He was a former Labour councillor. That came after former mayor Fred Phillips held a Burtonwood seat as an independent. Cllr Fellows told voters the elections present a once in a four-year opportunity to make the change ‘you’ve been asking for and you deserve’. He also says he offers himself as a ‘desperately needed’ alternative candidate for the ward.
