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.
