Town Council Meeting

Date
Thursday, 24th June 2021 07:00pm

 

Whilst all Council meetings must be held face-to-face from 7th May, there will still be limits on how members of the public can gather and mix indoors. As the safety of residents, councillors, and staff is of the utmost importance, there will be necessary capacity limits in the Roden Suite  to allow for social distancing between councillors, staff, and any attendees (max 20 people, including councillors and staff). To further minimise the risk of transmission, and to avoid having to turn people away at the door, we would urge residents to carefully consider whether they need to attend this meeting in person.

We will endeavour to allow the public to hear the meeting through a zoom link contact the Town Clerk for detaill                                                                                        

Please note that, until further notice and due to coronavirus regulations, members of the public wishing to attend Town Council meetings should email the clerk (info@wem.gov.uk) to reserve a place.
