Councillors have been attending virtual meetings during the Covid pandemic
COUNCILLORS are to start meeting in person again this month after a year of virtual meetings in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
But meetings of the full Brighton and Hove City Council will be smaller with a maximum of only 14 out of 54 councillors likely to gather in the town hall chamber.
The changes are being made after the expiry of a temporary change in law which allowed meetings and votes to take place online during the pandemic.
Council leader Phélim Mac Cafferty has raised concerns because many younger councillors are not yet eligible for vaccination – four are under 30.
