Last minute council U-turn on public meeting - that banned the public

West Offices, City of York Council headquarters
THE council made a U-turn on a decision to ban the public from attending a public meeting – 11 minutes before it was due to start.
Residents raised concerns after the agenda for City of York Council’s annual council meeting said it would not be open to members of the public to attend in person but would be broadcast live on Youtube.
Since May 7 council meetings must be held in public. Local authorities have sought larger venues to accommodate more people under social distancing guidelines – with Calderdale Council holding its annual council meeting at Halifax Minster with all 51 councillors and guests, and more than 70 people at a Cambridgeshire County Council meeting hosted by the Imperial War Museum in Duxford.
