Jackie Weaver Handforth Parish Council really is the gift that keeps on giving and after becoming a global internet sensation, it’s little wonder the repercussions are still spreading like ripples from a stone in a pond. National television news was all over the latest fractious Handforth Zoom meeting and if I have any advice to share it is to make sure to keep all members of the public on mute from start to finish. I don’t claim to be an expert on Handforth’s particular problems but it’s obvious to everyone who witnessed the shambolic ‘Jackie Weaver’ episode that divisions run deep and probably won’t be resolved until there is a change of personnel – and they need an election for that.
