Handforth parish council could be abolished

A parish council that went viral when a Zoom meeting descended into chaos could be abolished, the BBC has learned.
Handforth Parish Council became an internet sensation when a rowdy meeting featuring members being kicked out was watched by millions earlier this month.

A boundary review, which began before the meeting, has suggested it should be merged with neighbouring Wilmslow.
"It's not something I'll be voting for; Handforth needs its own council," said Cheshire East councillor Julie Smith.
Jackie Weaver, who shot to fame for keeping her cool amid the online meeting's sniping, laughter and disarray, said she was "sure the people of Handforth will be up in arms" about the proposed merger plans.

Maybe the people of Wilmslow won't be too pleased!
