The above Members had submitted their apologies for absence to reduce the number of Members at the Council meeting for safety reasons associated with the recent local increase in Covid-19 cases. A significantly reduced number of Council Members were therefore present at the meeting whilst maintaining political proportionality and quoracy rules.
