Investigations into the behaviour of three councilors involved are said to have cost Cheshire East Council around 100-thousand euro.

"I don't think I ever claimed to have any authority at that meeting. I didn't actually remove them from the meeting, I put them in the waiting room, so I didn't directly kick them out"
