Chris Bennett
I pledge to seek support from the people of Bollington to re-establish the ancient and respected role of ‘Village Fool’ entrusted to entertain and represent the townsfolk at community and civic events with a specific role of ‘speaking truth to power’ and pricking the bubbles of vanity, hypocrisy, pomposity and hubris. In so doing we create a new ancient tradition that benefits the wider community, helps improve the colour and ‘cultural capitol’ of the town, and assists the merchants and traders of this parish.
