Payments to Councillor on Remand (Macclesfield Central Ward)

The request was successful.

RICHARD NEWSTEAD

Dear Cheshire East Council,

I understand that Ashley Farrall, who represents Macclesfield Central on Cheshire East Council is currently on remand. As a result, I assume that he is unable to act in any meaningful way as a Councillor? Can you let me know if he is still receiving any payments from Cheshire East Council? If he is, can you let me know how much he has received since being held on remand and whether the Council will be able to reclaim this money if he is found guilty?

Yours faithfully,

RICHARD NEWSTEAD
