Covid-19 and meetings
The Council will be
holding some meetings in the next few weeks, but these will not be
in person at Phoenix House until the Covid-19 crisis eases.
Instead, the meetings will be held remotely via Zoom and you will
be able to join these meetings via the internet. Please
see the instructions on each agenda and read the Protocol on Remote
Meetings before you join.
If you want to ask a
question or speak, email your full name to Committee@middevon.gov.uk by no later
than 4pm on
the day before the meeting. This will ensure that your name is on the list to
speak and will help us ensure that you are not missed – as
you can imagine, it is easier to see and manage public speaking
when everyone is physically present in the same room.
Notification in this way will ensure the meeting runs as smoothly
as possible.
The Cabinet is responsible for most of the day to
day decisions of the Council which are not delegated to officers.

The Cabinet develops policies and strategies for
approval by Council, exercises overall control of resources within
the Council's policies and budget and recommends the level of
council tax to the Council. It also considers any matters
specifically referred by the Scrutiny Committee. All "key
decisions" to be discussed or made are published in the Cabinet's
Forward Plan in so far as they can be anticipated.
