I’m going to guess Handforth Parish Council doesn’t normally have this many attendees on its Zoom meetings...
Apparently 82 people are watching on Zoom and another 150 on YouTube.
The chair Brian Tolver has broken his silence. He's started the meeting saying "A lot of people are watching because of recent viral events. The meeting is open to the public and may be seen by a very wide audience". #HandforthParishCouncil 
It's the return of Barry Burkhill. As mayor of @CheshireEast, he's chairing today's full council meeting. There's a motion of no confidence in him after the viral #HandforthParishCouncil meeting - but it won't be discussed today as it has to go to another committee first...
Barry Burkhill has addressed the #HandforthParishCouncil meeting - he said "it's a matter of regret that these important issues (due to be discussed by @CheshireEast today) have become overshadowed by events elsewhere":
Cheshire East councillors are talking about next year's budget, which includes £20m of savings incl cuts to some social care svcs and less regular grass cutting. Dep leader Craig Browne said govt covid funding doesn't cover all @CheshireEast's lost revenue...
You've simply got to watch this meeting of #Handforth Parish Council planning committee. Kudos to Jackie Weaver for not losing her cool in the face of astonishing rudeness. Who needs Netflix?
Handforth Parish Council owes it's unlikely fame to teenager Shaan, a 17-year-old from London, who found the @zoom_us meeting footage, and 16-year-old Janine Mason, from Stoke-on-Trent, who launched it onto the world stage. cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-c…
The person who unearthed the extraordinary Handforth Parish Council zoom meeting footage is on Twitter - as @shaanthepenguin!
Right for those not following the #HandforthParishCouncil #JACKIEWEAVER situation my next tweets won’t be relevant, although I suggest you look it up.
For the rest of you, strap in as I think I’ve got it figured out.

The Mayor of Cheshire East Council is also called Barry Birkhill, I would guess it’s the same Barry Birkhill but that isn’t clear.
