FORWARD PLAN
The decisions likely to be taken by North Yorkshire County Council in the following 12 months are set out below:
Publication Date: 29 January 2021 Last updated: 29 January 2021
Period covered by Plan: up to 31 January 2022
All public Committee meetings of the Council where the public can attend have been suspended. Following on from the Prime Minister’s announcement on 23 March 2020 about fundamental restrictions on public travel and movement, the Leader of the Council, Cllr Carl Les, has stopped all public, committee meetings of the Council for the foreseeable future. The council business will continue but in a different way. Emergency powers have been invoked that enable the Chief Executive, Richard Flinton, to make decisions that would previously have been made by the Council’s committees. We will keep the position under review as the Government consider drafting legislation and regulations to allow for virtual meetings and we will consider how best to engage with the public to ensure that good governance, transparency and public engagement is maintained during this time.
PLEASE NOTE:-
In accordance with the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements)(Meetings and Access to information)(England) Regulations 2012, at least 28 clear days’ notice, excluding the day of notification and the day of decision taking, must be published on the Forward Plan of any intended key decision. It is also a requirement that 28 clear days’ notice is published of the intention to hold a Executive meeting or any part of it in private for the consideration of confidential or exempt information. For further information and advice please contact the Democratic Services and Scrutiny Manager on 01609 533531.
