Rejected petition Allow councils to continue to meet using remote meetings.

Allow all councils including Town and Parish Councils to continue to use remote meetings.

More details

To make it possible for remote meetings will end on the 6th May 2021. Many council premises are too small for safe meetings. Council meetings need to be safe for councillors, employees and members of the public. Members of the public often appear in small numbers but when something is important in large numbers. Keep it safe.
