PC meetings in the month prior to an election [closed]

Question

Is there any reason, or are there any PCs that cancel their scheduled meeting the month before an election?

I can't think of any reason why they might....?

Answer 1

It isn't necessary, but some parishes may mirror a decision taken at district or county level not to hold meetings. As parish councils should be apolitical, business can continue as normal, but care must be taken to avoid making major decisions immediately before a parish council election and to avoid any action that implies support for a candidate or party in any other election. Controversial decisions taken in the last meeting of an election cycle may be open to legal challenge.
