COUNCILLORS are due to discuss the process for granting people freedom of the borough.

Members of Barrow Council's Executive Committee will discuss the protocol for bestowing the council's 'highest honour' on January 15.

The agenda for the meeting said: Whilst there have been a number of Honorary Freedoms given by the borough, the Council currently does not have any protocols governing the way in which the Council makes such awards, and a draft has been proposed for this purpose." The meeting is at 10am in the town hall.
