Procedures for face-to-face meetings - May 2021

The legislation that permitted virtual meetings ended on 7^th May 2021 so we are now required to hold all in-person meetings for Full Council and all Standing Committees. Members of the public are permitted to attend these meeting subject to the following points.

• The COVID-19 socially distanced capacity for the venue is assessed for each meeting, taking into account the number of Councillors and staff members who will attend the meeting. Access is given on a "first-come-first-served" basis and we cannot admit more than the stated number to the meeting.
• Members of the public who wish to attend the meeting must form a socially-distanced queue at the main entrance to the Stanton Hall (by the Library) until they are given access to the building by a Councillor or member of staff immediately prior to the start of the meeting.
• Members of the public must wear face masks at all times, unless exempt from doing so under current government legislation, and use the hand-sanitizer provided at the entrance. They will be asked to provide their name and contact details on entry.
• Members of the public must proceed as directed to their seat at the meeting and remain in it until the end of the meeting.
• A Councillor or member of staff will direct members of the public to leave, one-by-one, in a socially-distanced way at the end of the meeting.
• MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO FEEL UNWELL MUST NOT ENTER THE BUILDING. You must return home and follow government guidance.
• IF YOU ARE IN A VULNERABLE CATEGORY, OR OVER 70, YOU ARE ADVISED THAT YOU ENTER THIS BUILDING AT YOUR OWN RISK.
• If members of the public do not feel comfortable attending a face-to-face meeting they may submit any questions or comments in advance by 12.00 noon on the day of the meeting to the key member of staff for that meeting.
