Covid-19 and meetings
From 7 May
2021, the law requires all councils to hold formal meetings in
person. However, the Council is also
required to follow government guidance about safety during the
pandemic. For a short period –
probably until 30 June – the Council will enable all people
to continue to participate in meetings via Zoom.
You are
strongly encouraged to participate via Zoom to keep everyone safe -
there is limited capacity in meeting rooms if safety requirements
are to be met. There are restrictions and conditions which apply to
those in the building and the use of the building. You must not attend a meeting at Phoenix House without complying
with the requirements in the new protocol for meetings. You must follow any directions you
are given.
Please read the new meeting
protocol which is available here:

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.
