**Covid-19 Announcement**
Government regulations that came into effect on 4 April 2020 allow remote meetings to take place and to make formal decisions at those meetings. Some of the Council’s formal meetings have been held as live broadcast meetings since the meeting of the Executive on 19th May 2020 but not all. Over September, October and November 2020, we will live broadcast an increasing number of the Council’s formal meetings and by December 2020 all of our formal meetings will be live broadcast.
The meetings will be live streamed via the Council’s You Tube page. A Protocol for Remote Meetings, together with User Guides for Members of the Public, are contained among the documents further down this page.
The Chief Executive Officer is also able to exercise emergency decision making powers where necessary and appropriate in order to ensure that the Council is able to continue to respond effectively and efficiently to a still rapidly changing situation.
At this stage, there is no intention to return to holding meetings in person for the foreseeable future.
