Under his delegated decision making powers in the Officers’ Delegation Scheme in the Council’s
Constitution, the Chief Executive Officer has power, in cases of emergency, to take any decision
which could be taken by the Council, the Executive or a committee. Following on from the expiry of
the Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and
Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020, which allowed for
committee meetings to be held remotely, the County Council resolved at its meeting on 5 May
2021 that, for the present time, in light of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic circumstances, remote
live-broadcast committee meetings should continue, with any formal decisions required being
taken by the Chief Executive Officer under his emergency decision making powers and after
consultation with other Officers and Members as appropriate and after taking into account any
views of the relevant Committee Members. This approach was reviewed by full Council at its July
meeting and will be subject to a further review at the County Council Meeting in November.
The meeting will be available to view once the meeting commences, via the following link -
