Meetings of the Parish Council were suspended in June and July because of the spike in Covid infections in the locality. The Parish Council business has, in this period, been monitored by the team initially established at the outset of the pandemic (before Zoom) consisting of Chairman (Bob Holt) Vice-Chairman (Trevor Brocklebank) and Clerk (Carole Robinson). Full consultation was maintained with all Council Members by email. Residents could also contact the Clerk by email if they wished (clerk@actonbridgeparishcouncil.org).
Prior to this latest re-arrangement, the Parish Council business had been successfully managed using ‘Zoom’ during the restrictions imposed to combat the virus. When further meetings by ‘Zoom’ were prohibited, as decided by the High Court judgement in May, arrangements had been made for face-to-face Parish Council meetings to resume in June. A risk assessment and a strategy for attendance had been completed but these actions were negated by the surge in infections. It is now anticipated that the next meeting of the Parish Council will be face-to-face in September, all being well. August has been set as the ‘holiday month’ of the Parish Council for many years.
The Parish Council AGM was held on Tuesday 4th May at 7-30pm, by Zoom but before the High Court judgement came into force. Minutes of AGM and the May meeting are on the web site.
