The Agenda for the 9-11-2026 Datchet Parish Council Meeting is really interesting – not only for the included items (DRCCT, email account suspension, a demand for resignation and vote of ‘no confidence’) but more importantly for what has been excluded – which includes me being barred from the previous meeting and no appearance of my properly submitted Cllr David Buckley ‘no confidence’ motion. The Agenda can be found here but for your convenience I have pasted the ‘Administration’ section of the Agenda below:
