Hi, no they can’t stop me attending a meeting unless there was something like a police order not to be that close to a particular person which there isn’t, this has been implemented by the locum clerk and the rest have followed like sheep, I was chair at one time but a few banged up on me and blackmailed me to stand down, I have reported that to the police.
Unfortunately there are several most unpleasant people on the council now and a few in it for their own good, one is a local developer who has not objected to one single planning application and it’s obvious why, I don’t want to be a part of that so I stood down completely, I questioned the clerk over two items proving her wrong on one and she did not like that and that’s when she brought in this ridiculous policy, I did go to ask a question and was told I could not by the chair, I felt this was wrong of him so have put in a coc complaint to our local district council, they are trying to avoid any awkward questions but the pc should be open to question from the public or so I think
