The Chairman noted that some Members were following government advice in relation to Covid-19 by self-isolating.  The Government is considering legislation to allow for remote voting at local authority meetings but this is not in place yet and therefore only Members who are physically present at a meeting can vote.

 

Meetings are being reviewed on a continuous basis.  Yvonne Rees, Chief Executive, also sent her apologies as she had to participate in a national conference call on Covid-19 measures.
