Lord Hawke Way outburst by councillor at a Newark and Sherwood District Council planning committee is edited out the public recording on YouTube

A recording of a live feed of a council’s virtual planning meeting, in which an elected member called for the resignation of the chief executive, has been re-posted with the outburst edited out.

Conservative Michael Brown spoke out after the chairman of Newark and Sherwood District Council’s planning committee, Roger Blaney, used his casting vote to push through an application that was being debated for a third time.

Mr Brown was asked to retract the comment and apologise.
