In the light of the Chief Executive’s decision of 4 October
2021 to continue with informal virtual meetings, made in consultation with
groups leaders, I have made a consequential decision to reinstate temporary
standing orders as a framework to govern informal virtual meetings. At the same time, I have amended the
constitution to reinstate the delegations granted to officers at Full Council
on 4 May 2021 to enable decisions to be made after taking
into account the views of members at informal virtual meetings.
