Explanation Information taken from a clip from councillor John Smith ua-cam.com/video/EOoe6p87WH0/v-deo.html An un-named councillor missed a number of meetings from December 2019 which meant they automatically self-disqualified. Cheshire East Democratic Services advised the Handforth Parish Council clerk, Ashley Comiskey Dawson, that a new vacancy for that councillor position had been created. However Chairman Tolver, councillors Brewerton and Burkhill wanted Ashley to reinstate that councillor, however this would have been unlawful according to Cheshire East Democratic Services. On 25th June, Ashley received in error an email from the Chairman who was looking at legal ways to get rid of Ashley. This resulted in relationships breaking down between the Chairman and the Clerk. On 4th November Councillor Burkhill stated that due to the serious of the concerns of the Clerks actions he should be suspended. These concerns were not shared by Councillors Moore, Samson and Smith. Cheshire East Council’s Monitoring Officer, David Brown, who ensures all authorities in the area behave in a lawful way had received numerous complaints about HPC and so an investigation was launched. A meeting was called by Cllrs Smith and Moore because Chairman Tolver ‘refused’ to do so. Therefore on 10th December the above Zoom meeting took place with Jackie Weaver facilitating it. She is the Chief Officer of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils (CHALC). Although only invited to the meeting out of politeness and respect Chairman Tolver assumed his role as Chair. Now this video makes sense... well no...
This is strongly reminiscent of small (tiny) charity bureaucracy. Wholly under/unqualified people delighting in a position which makes them feel special, and abusing every miniscule bit of power they have. Credit to the sensible people amongst them for remaining calm in the face of such stupidity.
Barry Burkhill (who is/was the bloody Mayor of Cheshire East!) is the underrated comedy gold of this... His timing of his first “where’s the chairman gone?” has me on the floor every time. Then “the chairman of the council is the chairman of...the council” 😂😂
To be fair would you want to waste your (unpaid) time bickering with others about what color the park bench should be painted, and which areas dogs are not allowed to shit in? Neither would I...
This is absolutely fascinating. All of these meetings for all council meetings should become public. I am remembering how an old surgery building in Todmorden - also a protected asset, if I recall - spent 20 years empty, with each passing year becoming more dilapidated. The town had tons of offers from various developers but the council turned them all down because they didn't want to ruin the character of the town. It's an interesting dilemma, really. A supermarket would have offered local jobs - but equally would have impacted other local businesses. Turning it into housing would have meant demolishing the existing building. So we're left with an eye sore for years and years whilst it fell into disrepair because offers to develop it into housing or shops were turned down. I can understand all points of view - one of those situations where you have to accept that not everyone will be happy... And then choose what is best for the town, on balance.
Something similar in the town I used to live in except the town council voted to tear down several buildings on Main Street--those being the original buildings of the town, at that, and one of them was occupied by a minority-owned business. The town council voted to declare them dilapidated beyond repair and a danger and to tear them down. Except they only tore the rear parts of them down, and left the front parts of them standing. These are two-story brick buildings, so now the sidewalk in front of them has to be cordoned off because there is some danger that any one of the "facades" that are left could collapse and squash someone. They've been like that for several years now, while the town council argues about how much money it would take to finish tearing them down, build new buildings attaching the original facades to them to retain the "flavor" of the town, or just wait until a hurricane blows in off the Atlantic and blows them over and pay for clean-up instead. Truth was that they were not dilapidated beyond repair any more so than any other two story brick building on Main Street in any American town is. They needed updating, and some new windows, and there were no doubt bats in the upper stories and rats in the lowers, but the buildings themselves were no danger. What the town council was thinking was.....oh I'm being kicked out.
Having spent years on town councils, civic committees, snooker committees, charity committees, this is exactly how things are, adults acting like babies, tin pot dictators, everything by the rules etc. John Smith's reactions are the best.
@@dancoles100 I think Brewerton was trying to set up an alternate meeting with Burkhill and Tolver - on Teams. His dad still being logged in on the official council meeting kinda meant he couldn't have the teams meeting in that same room.
Its a very sad indictment , I work with 5 Parish councils and they really are dedicated to make a difference, the behaviour of some in the video is both embarrassing and quite appalling at a time when many communities have come together in these difficult times and this is a slap in the face of so many good people in Parish Councils who work hard to make a difference.
SO glad I found this video! I really hate "best of" compilations when it comes to live disasters like this. Same with that viral video that was going around in "cringe" circles a few years back called "KDOC new years show of FAIL" and it outperformed the full version in views by many times. I HATE that!

Truth was that they were not dilapidated beyond repair any more so than any other two story brick building on Main Street in any American town is. They needed updating, and some new windows, and there were no doubt bats in the upper stories and rats in the lowers, but the buildings themselves were no danger. What the town council was thinking was.....oh I'm being kicked out.
This is comedy gold guys
I just looked it up and the Clerk is indeed the Proper Officer
So I think the way it works is, all Clerks are Proper Officers, but not all Proper Officers are Clerks.
well this has been her job for 25 years. Safe to say Jackie Weaver may know *something* about what she's talking about.
@@ArtemisScribe Never a safe assumption.
this has just appeared and i’m nostalgic. i plan on sitting through the whole thing. jackie weaver slayed
It’s 3 years later and this is still an artistic masterpiece and my specific genre of humor. Iconic
I've been after something new to watch tonight, this is better than anything Netflix has lately
I want to see the episode before and after, what happened during the investigation? Will all the characters survive into season 2021?
Three of them will
Having spent years on town councils, civic committees, snooker committees, charity committees, this is exactly how things are, adults acting like babies, tin pot dictators, everything by the rules etc. John Smith's reactions are the best.
That toilet flush did it for me
Can you timestamp it pls?

I thought I heard the bog flush.
I cackled!! 😂😂
I thought I was the only one who heard this 🤣🤣🤣
*WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A TEAMS MEETING YOU FOOL.*
It makes it even funnier that it's not even on Teams
@@dancoles100 😂😂😂😂
@@dancoles100 I think Brewerton was trying to set up an alternate meeting with Burkhill and Tolver - on Teams. His dad still being logged in on the official council meeting kinda meant he couldn't have the teams meeting in that same room.

Going ‘ 😂
“She’s kicked Barry out so I’m leaving”
YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE GANDALF STORMCROW
exactly my thoughts. This will explode as a meme
jackie weaver joining a random teams meeting and trolling like a boss
I just love how great these children are acting, so amazing
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a parish councillor. *Rags to Riches by Tony Bennett plays*
Best thing since Tiger king! Haven't laughed so much in all my life 🤣🤣
One of Scorsese's most underrated works.
Its a very sad indictment , I work with 5 Parish councils and they really are dedicated to make a difference, the behaviour of some in the video is both embarrassing and quite appalling at a time when many communities have come together in these difficult times and this is a slap in the face of so many good people in Parish Councils who work hard to make a difference.
Well said
@@petermoore53 You are a legend. It was you at 1:16 wasn't it? It was quite right of you to add that comment
this is literally the funniest thing I've seen in years
Same😂
A disorganised band of squabbling children! Can you do the next meeting in Haribo voices please. 🤣
i ded
Only three
😂😂😂
SO glad I found this video! I really hate "best of" compilations when it comes to live disasters like this. Same with that viral video that was going around in "cringe" circles a few years back called "KDOC new years show of FAIL" and it outperformed the full version in views by many times. I HATE that! I wanna watch the full thing to get that great slow-burn comedy. Kinda like Tim Heidecker style only not scripted. Great stuff, this.
Tim Heidecker sent me here. Seffay feff
I love how giddy Ian Ball is that he got a photo of Brian Tolver's username, he's so excited
