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...
...Opposition Conservative leader Janet Clowes says getting more details on the budget plans has been "like pulling teeth". Says the budget is "neither kind nor fair to our most vulnerable residents".
Former Crewe & Nantwich MP @LauraSmithCrewe says the savings in this year's @CheshireEast budget cuts are the result of a "cruel and callous Conservative government".
