Noting the change of legislation to remote meetings for Local Government,  no formal meetings of Council will be held on Zoom. Delegations have been approved for Officers working with Committee Chairs to ensure approved projects can continue. Committees will meet in an informal workshop format on Zoom until it is safe to meet in person. The next meeting of Full Council is scheduled 21st June which will be held in person and will review the delegations and establish a safe way of meeting. The venue for this meeting is yet to be confirmed.
