Minutes:

The Chairman noted that there would be a Special District Executive meeting on 15 April to discuss the Council’s response to the Governmentconsultation on Local Government Reform for Somerset, followed by a Full Council meeting in the evening.

 

It was requested that the Leader write to Minister for Communities, Housing and Local Government (MHCLG) to express the Council’s concerns at the cessation of on-line Council meetings and also that members of the public may also be reluctant to attend in person, whilst Parliament continued to allow hybrid meetings for themselves.

 

The Chairman agreed to do this.
