The LGA are continuing to lobby the Government to allow councils the flexibility to meet virtually when deemed locally appropriate.
The emergence of the Omicron variant has highlighted significant concerns about the requirement for councillors to continue to meet in person. The LGA are gathering evidence to demonstrate to the Government the need to allow councils this flexibility urgently.
If you have examples of how the variant has affected your council meetings or how you expect it to affect future meetings, please email Jessica.Norman@local.gov.uk.
