Contingency plans have been agreed for making decisions at East Suffolk Council if in-person meetings are not able to be held - but the government's refusal to extend remote meetings has been dubbed a "missed opportunity".
It means meetings scheduled after that date must be held in person.
East Suffolk Council leader Steve Gallant said contingency measures were necessary if Covid-19 disrupted the ability to hold meetings

However, East Suffolk's lawyers have advised the authority that some committees can still continue remotely because they were set up under a different parliamentary act.
