Cllr Graham Henson (Lab, Roxbourne), leader of Harrow Council, explained it would continue to run meetings where at least a quorum of councillors will physically attend while other committee members and participants will dial in via phone or online. He said it would be unsuitable for full meetings to return at present due to the additional measures required to make venues Covid safe, though he accepted government legislation that came into force from May 7 meant there had to be some face-to-face proceedings.

Sean Harriss, chief executive of Harrow Council, told a council cabinet meeting yesterday (Thursday, May 27) there are plans in place to speed up the delivery of the vaccine to combat variant B1.167.2. This includes bringing second dose dates forward, so they are administered within eight weeks as opposed to 11 and creating a series of pop-up sites across the borough over the next couple of weeks to support the mass vaccination centre in Byron Hall.
