Inaugural meeting of Macclesfield Parish Council

The inaugural meeting of Macclesfield Parish Council went ahead as planned last night (21st May), with the same elected representatives, after a voting blunder was corrected.

Conservative candidate Chris and Andrew Labour candidate Neil Puttick were confirmed as being elected as representatives for South Ward following the recount of votes which took place yesterday afternoon.

When it was discovered that 156 Gawsworth voters had been incorrectly given ballot papers for the South Ward Cheshire East had to apply to courts to reopen ballot boxes.

The recount at Macclesfield Town Hall revealed no change in the original result.

The new mayor and chair is Cllr Liz Durham

The new Vice-chair and Deputy Mayor is Cllr Alift Harewood
